2000 - 2015 why haven't they made a recall on the slip yokes?

I have went through hundreds of threads on this exact issue. My tacoma 2006 needed a new u joint. I went to replace it and low and behold it's chewed up on the slip yoke side where the u joint caps go in. It's so bad that it ate 1/4 of the round flange. I have saw 100s and 100s of thread on this exact problem. Why is it that toyota hasn't made a recall on the? Obviously it's a bad design. They want 1k for a whole new driveline because they say they can't get exact part....... bs yes they can they make them and sell them on new driveline they just want you to buy a whole new driveline. After hours of research I found the wrecking yard to be the go to for these. In my area we have alot of toyotas in the wrecking yard. So I have access to all sorts and I can get them at my 2 local pick n pulls. Also I can get them for each different type in-between after hours of digging into the subject. If anyone is needing one lmk send a pic and I can get it. I like to help other people. I'll charge you for the part $15 and the shipping. And of course my gas. That's it I'm not worried about making anything on it. Dont be afraid to ask because I'm always at pick n pull alot and I have no issues helping others. Toyota dealership can suck it!!!! I just got 2 nice ones in great shape for mine and there were plenty others out there from 2000-2010 at the pick n pull thats 15 min from my house and then the other pick n pull that's a hour away has up to 2014 at the moment but there stock always changes at both locations. So lmk if your looking for one we can verify through pics, measurements ect that it's correct. I feel we toyota owners should file a lawsuit on the slip yokes they need to be recalled especially when 100k plus people are reporting same issue. Sorry for the long post. I'm even willing.to ship it first before payment ( the honor system ).

 

There was a driveshaft u joint extended service campaign, it wasn't a recall but toyota did try to amend this. It's now expired.

Don't expect more than that, they made an effort, and it's over.

 

What years have the shitty yokes? My 07 looked fine at about 160K when I last replaced the center bearing and u-joint on that side. I had originally replaced the oem u-joints at about 90K. My truck is just past 200K and driveline is hunky dory.
