Toyota Frame Rust Recall

Yep. The service rep said it’s safe to drive but if he was me he might have someone weld a peice in the left channel towards the front

 

Going in with the new frame !

 

Lynyrd3. Where did you purchase the Poly bushings

Thank you

I have a 2004 tacoma and the frame is badly rusted. I never got a notice but did go to the dealership last year and was told there was nothing they could do for me. Am I out of luck?

 

I'm pretty sure the terms of this 'campaign' (as Toyota calls it) are only applicable to 2005-2010 models. It sucks, but there it is.

 

They replaced my fram, suspension, brake and fuel lines. $0.00

 

I have an 04. Missed it by one year. Can't drive it anymore. There are cracks all through out the frame. Looks like it wouldn't take much for it to break apart.

 

What did you spend on those parts?
I trust it's less than your dealer quoted you? And your dealer is okay with you providing these parts to them to use during your Frame swap job?

 

Timbrens are $214 from Wheelers , body and sway bar bushings cost $113 from CARid, Rack bushings from Amazon are around $50. Dealer said no problem .

 

Well something like that happened to me the dealer told me that Toyota wouldn’t cover my frame and never gave me solid reason. So I called Toyota and told them the dealer said Toyota won’t cover my frame. The Toyota rep looked into it said we will cover you with a brand new replacement. Then my wife car faxed my truck and it does have salvaged title the crappy dealer fudged the first car fax when I bought the truck. Long story short call or write a letter to Toyota they will battle to keep you as a loyal customer. As of 3 weeks ago I have a brand new frame under my truck.

 

Little update for us Canadians, I received a letter in the mail that a new class action lawsuit is in the works for 09-10 trucks. Should have final verdict Sept. 2018.

Previously in Canada the frame replacement only covered 2005-2008 trucks, now being expanded to 2005-2010!

Sadly, I think my 2010 frame was undercoated enough that their wont be a 10mm perforation, just shitty amounts of rust over the entire thing.

 

Here's a link to the Canadian action's website...

 

That's the site I signed up to, and from whom I received the letter yesterday. Also included in the letter was a piece of paper from Toyota outlining what can be done at this time: We can get out trucks inspected as early as July 21 2018, prior to the anticipated decision date of September 7 2018

 

Dropped off Monday . Going to call dealer today for an update . Driving this 2017 DCLB Offroad right now !

 

Nice.. when did they start making the offroads in the DCLB? When I bought my truck they were only DCSB for offroad and DCLB for sport.

 

Called for an update : truck just went in the shop this afternoon . It’s been there since Monday morning .
