The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that there was significant rust accumulation on the frame of the vehicle. An independent mechanic discovered the rust upon inspecting the vehicle and warned the contact that it could lead to a potential safety defect. The contact spoke with waite Toyota (18406 us-11, watertown, NY 13601) and the manufacturer and was informed that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.
2006 Toyota Tundra purchased new from Toyota dealership in central pa; one owner. Customer purchased dealer offered undercoating due to known climate conditions of central pa in order to prevent undercarriage corrosion. Same dealership (under new ownership) carried out corrosion inspection campaign in 2015; dealer conclusion-apply additional corrosion-resistant compound to frame (did they actually apply anything?). pa inspection at independent garage in 2019 failed for frame corrosion (but no perforations?). vehicle taken to place of purchase to repeat inspection; dealership also failed vehicle for pa inspection due to frame corrosion; suggested sending it to additional Toyota dealers for additional inspections and to call Toyota corporate. (note-failed areas and other inspection areas are now completely devoid of corrosion protection due to removal by inspection mechanics). Called Toyota Corp., they can't/won't help. Supervisor to call back. So far, Toyota will not rectify the issue. There are 100 year old Ford model T's on the road with frames that are perfectly healthy in pa, but a piece of junk made in the usa (which has been less than useless for the last 40 years), foreign owned Corp.,13 year Toyota is scrap!!! obsolescence and second class citizenship consumer products should be illegal and meant only for the billionaire class to experience! failure at 106,000 miles.
My 2006 Tundra has a hole in the frame due to rusting out which has made the passenger side sway bar to come detached from the frame. Toyota advised me this model year is not part of any recall for the known frame rust issue with Toyota trucks and refuses to assist in any way to address this issue. Completely unacceptable when Toyota is fully aware of the frame issue. Toyota case # [xxx]. information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
While driving in the city my power steering went out and made driving difficult. Upon taking my 2006 Tundra to the nearest dealer to get it fixed they informed me the frame had a hole in it and that the vehicle was not serviceable. It appears multiple recalls for multiple models were issued but not 2005 and 2006. This is something that Toyota should look at and extend the recall to these vehicles.
Informed that frame has developed rust issues. Vehicle was coated by dealer in 2014 with corrosion resistant compound following a letter indicating Toyota was aware of this issue.today my mechanic following routine maintenance showed me the rusting frame.10/24/19. I took vehicle to thompson Toyota service and was informed there is no recall on this years model. I called Toyota and was informed it's not covered. It is upsetting that previous years were covered and sequoia models are covered..

The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Tundra. While the vehicle was being serviced by an independent mechanic, severe rust and corrosion on the frame and undercarriage of the vehicle was discovered. The mechanic stated that due to the severity of rust, over time, they would be unable to service the vehicle because it would be unable to be placed on a lift. The manufacturer stated that a corrosion sealant was placed on the frame; however, the corrosion overpowered the sealant application. The manufacturer offered no further assistance. The dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was unknown.
My truck was recalled for rust underneath and was sprayed with under coating at that time. There is a lot of rust popping through where the bolts hold the bed to the frame. Rust is coming through several places including the bed frame bolts next to the cab. Is there anything that Toyota can do, since this started with a recall?

Purchased the truck used and was recently inspected by Toyota which found corrosion and rust holes in both cross members holding the gas tank and spare tire. The truck is unsafe and I was told to remove the spare tire. Recalls are for the 2000-2003 Tundra leaving the 2004-2006 owners out of luck. I can't understand how these model years were left out given it's the same frame and all the other complaints. Please help these owners.
A few years back had taken the truck in for the frame recall. Underside of the truck was quite rusty and was hoping for a new frame to be put on. Instead, was informed by the dealership that that was not going to happen for my truck. Instead, the frame was to be "undercoated" to protect the truck from further rust. The dealership also informed me that the current procedure from Toyota, at that time, was to only undercoat the cab of the truck and not the entire frame. Dealership stated that they would be undercoating entire frame which they did do. After getting truck back from dealership looked underneath and saw that entire frame was sprayed with some form of black material. Now this undercoating is peeling off and the frame is rusting again.

Upon inspection, the dealer found holes in the frame; however, there were no marble size holes that would qualify for a frame replacement.

Just had truck inspection done by my mechanic and he told me there is a problem starting with the frame. He said contact Toyota that there was a frame recall. So I did they told me there was nothing they could do. Asked to speak to someone in charge and got a call back. Was told my truck was sprayed with the anti corrosion spray in 2014. But apparently it didn't work. Why did Toyota skip certain years of the Tundra? Toyota did a recall on the same year sequoia as my Tundra. They have the same frame. I don't understand and I can't be the only one with this problem something has to be done
