2005-2010 Warranty Enhancement Program Details

Anyone else receive this in the mail, just got it today? I am from California btw.

Toyota would like to advise you of an enhancement to portions of your Toyota New vehicle limited warranty as part of a finally approved and implemented class action settlement.

Toyota has received reports regarding frame corrosion on 2005-2010 model year tacoma vehicles

Warranty Enhancement Program details
This warranty Enhancement programs covers vehicles purchased new or used to provides enhanced coverage to the vehicles "New Vehicle Limited Warranty" as it applies to frame corrosion. The specific Condition covered by this program involves rust perforation, i.e "Rust Perforation Standard." If perforation of the frame from rust corrosion meets or exceeds the Rust Perforation Standard, the frame will be replaced at no cost under the terms of this Warranty Enhancement program.

 

If your truck has a rusted frame you can take it in for an inspection at no cost. If they find a 10mm hole or larger they will replaced it at no cost. If no perforation is found they will undercoat it for free.

 

A friend of mine got the undercoating and then they wouldn't replace the frame later on when it still got worse.... just something to consider. I'm still hoping for rust perforation one day.

 

Just got the letter too. I'm hoping to get my frame replaced..

 

It was possible the time limit had expired on the one that was not replaced

 

What is the time limit you speak of? I thought if the frame has perforation it's gotta get changed?

 

On 2005-10 you have 1 year from court ruling or 12 years from original purchase date. So 05 models still have the 1 year from court ruling.

 

Okay gonna start parking on the pier more often near the salt. 4 years to get it rusted out for me.

 

But if your trucks is lifted / modded they don't have to right... That's what happened to me when I went in to get my leaf spring recall done..

 

I have heard alot of people saying the suspensions mods Disqualify For any type of recall/warranty work. It really sucks not fair at all.

 

time limit for mine is Jan 31, 2019, I gotta get it inspected !!

 

Jeff, this is an old thread, but did you ever get the frame replaced? (My apologies if I've asked you this before) I'm an hour north and taking mine in for inspection very soon. Which dealership did you go to? thanks you!!

 

No I did not. My truck actually was totaled in an accident October 18th of 2018. I did happen to take it to DCH Toyota of Torrance and they evaluated and stated I can get it replaced but, it would be up to a 2 week process. Sorry for getting back to you late I’ve been so busy. Good luck!

 

Wow I am really sorry, and hope you are ok from the accident. Not many have rusty frame in SoCal, so I just thought to ask you. I sure understand the being busy. Stay safe in this rain. Thank you so much!
