Toyota Motors has issued a recall of 150,000 Tacoma trucks, model years 2001-2004, due to issues with the mechanism that holds the spare tire. The company said the mechanism can corrode and break, which may cause the tire to fall off. The recall only affects vehicles in states with "high road-salt usage," which amounts to 20 states, including Illinois, Michigan, Maryland, Ohio, New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts.
