Frame rust question?

It's getting welded tomorrow. Pretty easy fix, easy access. Can't wait for Toyota to call, I need my truck for work. but when they do I'm still pressing for a new frame.

 

Back in the early days a few of the trucks I repaired did get bought back

 

I sent them an email and got a resons saying someone would call me tomorrow. Guess we will see how this goes. I will try to take pics of it and post them. Thanks everyone for the response.

 

Ok I talked to Toyota HQ today. Very nice lady I talked to. She said my frame was under warranty until March next year 2017. Sent even offered to call my local deal to set the appointment up for me or to have the manager call me. I thought that was very nice. I will see if I can get it in next week and let you all know what they have to say. Thanks again everyone

 

just got off the phone with toyota hq and they are relaying my case to the special projects management and i will receive a phone call by the end of the business day tomorrow. hope everything goes well. thanks to all of you for helping me out with what to do!

 

NCtaco90, Have you gotten any further by emailing HQ? Im in the exact same boat as you. My truck was originally from Delaware. I'm the 4th owner and when I called the dealership they told me that I wasnt covered for the frame replacement because the original owner never had the coating put on it. But my question is, how was I supposed to know that?? Just wondering if you've gotten any further in your quest. Thanks!

 

I am working on the same issue as you. My truck is a USA truck and has been in Canada since 2005. No effort was made to contact Canadian owner, which I am pleading isn't fair and the old guy I bought it from had no idea of the "inspection" Toyota would do for free. We'll see how far I can get with management.

 

You'll need 2 bags of for this one

 

got off the phone with toyota hq again about an hour ago, they said that my truck is one of the ones affected in the recall however i dont see any rust. should i still get them to coat it to prevent it? my truck is under warranty for that recall until October 4, 2017. Thanks!

 

start driving on salted roads have that frame rust....

 

I live in northwest atlanta, georgia.... otherwise i would HAHA

 

Will they do that? In your location the truck probably has had limited exposure to corrosive elements, unless you drive on the beach. Your risk may be low, but not zero. Whatever they used here in New York was not very long lasting; most of it has flaked off.

 

im assuming they'll do that, that is unless they wanna get bitched at for several hours will changing the timing belt and etc haha.

 

So your truck has never been inspected or coated, yet Toyota is telling you that you have a 15 year warranty on your frame???? Very very interesting. I'll use that one if need be when hq calls me.

 

yeah, its never been treated ever.... it wasn't ever registered under toyota hq after we bought it in 2009. so i had them register it too. but yes, they're saying there is a 15 year warranty on my frame and that my truck was included in that recall!
