    Brother in law called me this evening to find out if I am interested in a 2001 Taco, reg cab, 4cly, 5spd, 2wd, with 90,000 on it but has rusted frame. Is 2001 past recall ? If it isn't out could I buy it and take it in for new frame ? Thank you for any help.

    Probably depends if they took it in and had the frame coated or not

    All depends on whether it had been sprayed by toyota at some point. If it hasn't you're out of luck. If it has you fall into the 15 year window still but you're gonna want to get an inspection scheduled asap before the grace period ends.

    So what happens if you had the corrosion treatment applied, the 15 years is extended by some amount? I don't recall being told that by the dealer. The fact that there are so many Taco owners with questions about it indicates Toyota hasn't handled informing customers well at all. I have an account on the Toyota owner's website and it's not clear on there.

    I have an 02 DC and I just had my frame replaced. My frame was never coated. The requirement on the frame coating must be specific to certain regions? My truck lived in KS/MO most of its life.

    Get the VIN and call a dealership. They can check if the frame is still covered.
