Frame rust recall

Yes I had it tested today.
It just sucks because its so close to failing.

 

I know the feeling. Mine passed a couple years ago and they CRC’d it. Checked the frame during a oil change back in March and found a crack turned out to be rusted out. New frame worthy. Just stay informed about the status and conditions of this law suit. It may change in your favor.

 

I just noticed this last Friday. Crack about 3-4 inches. I can literally move that piece of metal above the crack with my hand. 2007 with 67K

I would get to a dealership, stat, if it were mine. You should have a year to do so, but why push one's luck?

 

Yeah I can't see how that will not fail. New frame incoming!

 

Make sure you ask for the loaner truck, if applicable. It was really informative to me to drive a 2018 SR5 Automatic for a few weeks. Really made me love my 5-speed four cylinder more!

 

This! My 2007 5-speed 4-cylinder regular cab is in the shop awaiting its new frame, and they put me in a brand new TRD Double Cab automatice everything for a loaner. I can't wait to get my truck back!

 

I'm curious how the replacement frames are holding up for people. Some of you have had them for a while now. Do they look as though they are holding up better than the original frame?

 

No gremlins or concerns so far. They attached a lot of my old, crispy, parts to it, so those need to be replaced.

Put a trailer hitch on last night. Can't tell you how glad I was that someone else had taken out those bolts recently, and put them back in. And that there were brand, shiny new nuts in the frame to tap into.

 

I refused the coating last inspection on grounds they couldn't guarantee me it wouldn't drip on a new driveway but that was before they extended the frame recall. Can they disqualify me on that one?

 

Very neat where mine was bad.

Take a few pics dealership may use them to make a determination.

 

Ask them? Maybe email toyota hq and get a response in writing

 

Toyota said any inspection done during the old campaign is void and the vehicle must be reinspected under this new campaign.

 

That's not necessarily a bad thing. Just have it done, and go from there. Not sure to what "new campaign" they are referring?

 

Presumably the Class Action Settlement remedy vs. the original company recall.

 

If you have more info on this please include it.
Mine is outside the time and also going to be needing a new frame soon.

 

After class action ruling last year.

 

Makes sense.

 

Well my frame failed, they have no trucks as loaners and I said I needed a truck so they drove me over to enterprise for a F150. They gave me no time frame on when to expect the frame, less than accommodating IMO.
I'll keep ya updated.
