I think that eventually Tavon will make an appearance by the end of the series but I think it needs to be at the right time, as well as other reasons.
For one thing, if Tavon had showed up in Season 4, it would have only complicated the Vic/Shane/Rawling/Antwon/Seizure storyline, and it would've complicated the story more than necessary.
Season 5 is more of a possibility for Tavon, especially with the past coming back being such a powerful thread.
From a different, more story-oriented standpoint...the start of The Cure happened...what? Maybe six months after On Tilt? So if we assume that Ain't That a Shame was six months at max after The Cure...that's about a year. I'm willing to bet that Tavon was still in physical therapy, because he hadn't even begun when last we saw him, he was still in a hospital bed.
I broke my leg over the summer, and I was in physical therapy for about two months, and I'm still not fully recovered - and that was a very clean break. Tavon had tons of injuries, and I'm sure that it would have taken a LOT longer to heal. Maybe not a full year, but even then he may not have been ready to come back to the force.
There's also the matter of his memory - does Tavon still think he hit Mara? If he does, there's no reason for him to come back, because he thinks he's in the wrong and he probably doesn't want to face Shane. If that memory ever comes back, though, it's entirely possible that he'll come after Shane, and Vic and Lem since they helped cover.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if we saw the Tavon thread picked up again by the end of Season 5, ESPECIALLY if it's the last season.

I have always wanted Tavon DEAD. I was extremely disappointed that he survived.... because that moment, him splayed on the pavement, made me (well, almost) cry!! When I learned he lived I actually felt cheated. It was the greatest disappointment I've had with this series. What was the point of even keeping him alive...unless something happens with that character this year.

Vic makes a statement in 4x10 Back in the Hole about having to get caught up with eight months of ass-kicking with the Strike team so Tavon has been recuperating at least that much longer - in one S4 ep Lem mentions having checked in on Tavon and that he was recovering and doing okay but didn't remember anything other that what Lem and Vic told him about what had happened - I thought I remembered something from the Glen Mazzara thread (or maybe a Shawn Ryan comment) that Tavon would not be back in S5
Having him live set up that great series of scenes with Lem and Vic in S3 winding up with Lem lying to Tavon about what really happened as a result of Vic's pleas to cover for Shane - add that to Lem's guilt over Terry (remember Lem blames himself for what he believes happened to Terry) and the whole Angie thing (where again Lem covered for Shane) and you have a potential timebomb should Lem begin to further question the motives of the ST, particularly the actions of Shane - based on the S5 previews we already know he's wired by IAD (I'm guessing because of the heroin he took from Pintaro [sp?]) so there's lots at play in S5 that can be directly related to Tavon's surviving that crash - so I think Tavon has served his purpose and he's really not physically needed in S5 - just the mere mention of the whole episode is enough to stir up problems

Depends how S5 fares out for me. He could come working with the new captain(forrest whitaker) knowing he worked with the strike team before and use him as a snitch. Ya never know

Not to get technical, but Forrest Whitaker isn't the captain, he's an IAD agent.

What I would like to see if tavon makes a return apperance, would be at Lem's funeral. Lem and Tavon always seemed to have a bond and respect between them. I really liked Tavons character though. When I first saw episode 304 I was really shocked at the end with that fight and the crash. Then Vic Lem and Ronnie are having a good time at the barn watching the Decoy squad strip and Vic says "I cannot believe that shane and tavon just missed that!" It was an amazing episode. I hope these last 10 eps arent the last of the entire series!

If that happened I wonder what the vibes would be between him and Vic and him and Shane. I guess well see in 9 months

Though I don't think that he needs[i/] to return for plot purposes, that would be a great way for the character to return, even if only briefly.

I think another good one would be if he had been better for a while and was actually back on the force doing work just not in Farmington, and he crosses paths with the Strike Team on a case.

could people imagine Tavon coming back at Lem's funeral...and apologizing to Shane over hitting Mara...WOW talk about f*cking with Shane...that would make Shane remember a time when Lem saved him as well as reminding Vic that Shane, who was unacounted for, did once before seriously injure a team member (although Vic also killed one but that's a whole different story)...

Interesting possibility. If that is the case, then the more sincere Tavon is about his hitting Mara, the more it's going to mess with Shane's head. I wouldn't look for Vic or Ronnie to ever let out what really happened and I don't think Shane would either. Although the greater his guilt grows, who knows what will happen.

Maybe in the last of kavenaughs episodes in season 6 he might call back Tavon as part of his IAD investigaton.
