99 Tacoma - Frame Rust Buy Back??

Well I guess I've been living under a rock, but I just found out about the frame recall this week. I have a 99 Tacoma v6 Manual, 4x4 Limited Edition, 160k. Drives great, life is good.

From my research I missed the 15 year window. I moved to DC in 2010, but the truck was in San Diego from 99 to 10. Bought it used in 2005. So I never received any recall letter or notice.

Anyway - am I out of luck?

I did take it to the dealership about 1.5 years ago for a full inspection but they never mentioned a recall. I'm feeling a bit screwed by that, but I never asked for a rust inspection.

 

Thanks - from what I read that's true for the frame replacement for 01-04, but not for the buyback from earlier trucks.

I made an appointment earlier in the week with the dealership tomorrow, but with more research it's probably a waste of time. Time for an oil change anyway.

 

I didn't see any holes, nothing like the 'Swiss cheese' photos. But there is light rust, especially on the driver side. I'm no worried, but I need to sell it in the next few years and this would have been nice.

 

my frame on my '98 rusted clear through on drivers side, at rear shock mount. I fabricated a patch and built a shock mount. works like it should.
