Frame rust recall

Thanks for the response. Looks like ill just leave the truck and keep my mouth shut

 

They are all correct. I had the coating done, and a year or so later they replaced the frame. The coating did very little.

 

If Toyota wanted to replace my defective frame on their dime I would happily accept. I have heard many bad experiences with the CRC coating, the only negative thing I can say is that I take a little bit of it with me everytime I'm working under my truck, but otherwise it has held up well and doing its job. IMO the most important thing I do to prolong my frames longevity is to use a 2' 360-degree spray nozzle from Kelly Sports to coat the inside box section with Fluid Film before the salt season begins.

 

I asked this in another Frame Recall thread but might as well do it here for x2 chance of answer. I was wondering if anyone with the factory tow package had their receiver replaced as a part of this. Mine is rusted to shit and am about 5 weeks out from my frame parts arriving at the stealership.

 

From what other people have said the tow package doesn't qualify as part of the frame, so no it's not replaced as part of the LSC.

 

toook my 05 to the dealership today Elizabeth city NC.... after waiting about a half hour or so they said that they took pictures of my frame and were sending them to corporate....gave me the keys i drove home about 3 hour later they ring my phone... Drum roll..............IM APROVED FOR A NEW FRMAE!
they ordered me a new one and it should be here in month or so
i Live on hatteras island and drive my truck on the beach daily this new frame is going to add many years of life to my truck in this harsh salty environment i live in!!! it feels like christmas morning

 

Well thats a damn shame... I guess I'll have to sand blast it and coat it.

 

mine is rusted to shit aswell... im going to hit it with a needler and por 15 it after they do the frame swap

 

Ye old needle gun! I thought my days of rust busting were over.

 

A few pictures of my frame, and to think a dealer let me drive off with it in this shape !!

I'd have it towed, NOW.

 

its crazy seeing some of these pictures with how bad these frames are. mine isnt nearly as bad as some of these. my truck goes in this coming monday for a frame though. im happy, got alot of work to do sunday before it goes in, mainly taking out my rear lift because its getting new rear leaf packs also. this is a pic of the spot that is the worst on mine.

 

Curious, where has your truck lived most of its life and did you have the frame cleaned regularly? No frame should look as bad as yours being a 2006 and barely 12 years old no matter how the frame was treated.

 

From what other people have said the tow package doesn't qualify as part of the frame, so no it's not replaced as part of the LSC

Yet it holds on the rear bumper and rusts worse than the frame!

 

I think I need to take a look at mine again. They coated it last year but did a shit job! Didn’t clean it beforehand and it flaked off!

 

Will you bring it to the dealership right before your 12-year service date for the final frame inspection? My 12-year in-service date is 10/2/06, so was thinking of having them inspect it the last week of September.

 

My 12 year date is in January 2019. If I find a hole you can bet your ass!

 

Mine is March 2020 .Frame passed last August but I will bring it in again. Eventually it will fail!

 

They just called me and said.....we have a good news the frame is here today....it went from a month wait ...to a 18 hr wait.....wtf....they tried to get me in a car....I need the truck for working on pools unless they want a bunch of chemicals in the back seat of a camry ... Waiting on a call back to see if they have a rental truck...if so i will drop it off monday....... *update**just called me said they whould put me in a used truck from there lot....going to drop my baby off Monday for a new frame

 

holy Crap! i've never seen one that bad.
