The proposed settlement provides for a free frame inspection and replacement program to determine whether your subject vehicle s frame should be replaced.
I am very pleased with the process.
Truck is like brand new.
The frame on my 2001 toyota tundra was coated with a corrosive resistant compound crc per bill kidd toyota dealer in 2012 due to safety recall bod 90m service campaign aof.
During november 2012 toyota recalled a total of 150 000 tacoma trucks models from 2001 to 2004 for the rusted spare tire carrier under the bed which would break and cause the tire to come loose.
In november of 2008 the 1995 to 2004 tacoma suffered so much damage that the company had to repurchase them.
Because the frame is to bad can t do the necessary safety recall for the spare tire so the dealer had me call toyota as these are suppose to be replace on a case by case basis but so far toyota said.
Unfortunately our tacoma was never taken in for the frame replacement recall offered by toyota and by the time ownership passed to us the truck was too old and had too many miles on it.
