    Hey all,
    I don't have a Tacoma, but I am a Toyota guy. I currently own a 2014 Tundra Crewmax TRD SR5 and a 1989 Standard cab V6 4x4. The 89 is a mildly built off-road truck with cage, old style Downey off-road IFS kit up front and Fox shocks all the way around. I am a Service Advisor at a Southern Ca Toyota dealer, so if you have any problems and need to ask a question feel free to ask. I also recently started a business for truck accessories, but I am just getting started. So that's my story.

    Supplier issue again. Whoever makes them for Toyota was probably trying to cut corners in their coating process and that's why they are rusting. All I know is that we have a lot of Tacoma owners that come in for service and we get paid by Toyota to do these recalls. This one will be nice for us, but inconvenient the owners.

    Not sure. That would be a question for the design guys at Toyota but I would guess cost savings.

    At this point I am not sure. The dealer letter just said they were preparing the remedy at this time. Didn't say what they are doing.
