Got my letter from Toyota today regarding frame replacement...

Letter said I needed to have the CRC treatment done within two years in order to be eligible. If I do that I have up to 12 years! Problem is... I take better care of the frame than their treatment ever will (per what I have seen here). Do I have any options? The CRC looks like poo, and I actually care what the underside looks like... Anyone have any luck with Toyota and an alternative treatment??

 

If you have rust u r Done!!!I cleaned and scrubbed the hell out of my frame good rust paint every every every a Year...Get it no stopping the bad frame rot.Sorry just being honest.ps have a new frame.Sooooo...What I am saying is sol...

 

Got My Letter this week as well ..... You think that after all these YEARS Toyota would have taken the time and money to use a better quality steel and corrosion resistance..... WTF? I Specifically had a conversation with my Salesman, Shop manager and Sales manager about this before I bought my 2012. Of course they said "Fixed", No issues ... I guess my decision is whether to do the CRC Coating knowing, per other posts on the subject, say it's crap - or to Just fluid film and ignore the 12 year coverage.

 

I got my letter today as well and yeah I'm with you what a disappointment that they still cannot get this right. We will see this move into the 3rd gens as well I bet...its still the same frame since 05 they haven't changed it up thus why this is still plaguing owners.

 

I haven't seen a letter yet just have to keep watching the mail I get my truck fluid film every year and right now ,its a 2013 Tacoma Sport and the frame looks like it left the factory yesterday because of the fluid film treatments
TOMB

 

Did the program get expanded to 2011+ trucks?

 

Yup. 11-15s. And 16-17s apparantley

 

If you have been doing your own treatment since new just keep doing what your doing.

 

Do you know this for a fact?

There’s been quite a few who missed out under the original terms that could benefit.

BTW, I got my letter on 10/31/19

 

Yes.

 

Good my wife probably threw the letter away thinking it was marketing

 

ALL Tacoma’s are privy to this from the notice I saw at the dealer I visit. NOT A RECALL.

Inspection and eval first, under coating, then replacement if needed.

 

Can someone post a pic or pdf of the letter? There's 1 thread with pics, but it's all chopped up into 14 pics and most of them are sideways.

 

That's what I saw on a thread about 2 weeks ago

 

Woah I had no idea the recall got extended to 2011+..... So how long are we covered under the recall? My 2012's frame is pretty solid and I undercoat it every year, but would be good to have peace of mind.

 

12 or 15 years I think

 

From date of extension or date the truck was manufactured?

 

I've been using Fluid Film on the chassis of my truck since it was new and there virtually no rust after five winters of road salt. There is no way I'm letting Toyota apply that CRC crap!

 

Extension date is 15 years and 12 years for manufactured I believe

 

As I understand my letter, it is 12 years from the date of notification.
