Found a Break in my Taco's Frame?

Not sure what piece this is but it looks pretty important. The wheel in the picture is the driver's side rear. What is this? What are the potential damages it can cause and should this be dealt with immediately?

 

That is [one of] your leaf springs. should be fixed ASAP.

 

There is a recall out for leaf springs- possibility of breaking and puncturing the gas tank.
Call the dealer immediately.

 

Thank you!

 

Agreed, that should be fixed ASAP. That's a serious amount of rust for a 2010.

 

^x2..beat me to it. Def need to fix that.

 

You may have a recall. Look it up.

Also, if you rotor ever looks like this, it is time to get that fixed too.

 

690,000 Toyota Tacomas Recalled for Leaf Springs that Could Snap, Damage Fuel Tank and Brake Line

How could I check my rotor and about how much would it be to replace all four?

 

With the engine on and the truck in Park, press and hold the radio power button. After a few minutes the word, "Diagnosis" will show up on the srceen. Then use the volume knob to scroll to the word "Brakes". Then tap (lightly) the volume button and ill display "ok" or "replce."

Feels like I'm being set up by one of those goofy comedian/magician guys. Is this for real?
