    You have to take it into a dealer and ask.

    Register on the Toyota owners web site and see if it was undercoated. You'll need the vin number. Otherwise, go to your dealer for an inspection. They'll check the records and tell you what your coverage is. Where are you? It just says Kingston.

    I'm near Kingston myself.

    Check with prestige Toyota. I was just there with my truck. My frame passed this time, but they have done hundreds of frames. They did my '01 a few years ago.

    I hope you are covered. Good luck!

    If it was undercoated then you're fine. That would have been in 2010 or so though. Good luck, I'm trying to fight for a new one now.
