Toyota has issued a recall notice for certain Toyota Tacoma trucks in the U.S. due to an increased risk of crash,Ov Finance the company announced Tuesday.

Approximately 381,000 of certain 2022 and 2023 Toyota Tacoma trucks are involved in the recall.

According to the recall notice, welding debris left on the ends of rear axle assembly during manufacturing could cause certain retaining nuts to loosen over time and eventually fall off, which could cause a part to separate from the axle.
