Truck won-??t pass inspection frame is rusted out like so many other 2006 Tundras. Some web searches showed this year was covered on recalls. In 2015 had a recall for corrosion on frame.. you mean RUST! However those don-??t show up as recalls.. WHY" How do all of us affected do another class action law suit" Truck has 147,239 miles way too young to be no good! Can-??t afford another car! Hey TOYOTA GIVE US KELLY BLUE BOOK AROUND 7000 or fix the frame! Any lawyers or news contact me! This family is screwed thanks to Toyota passing the buck

I Was not notified That there was a recall for the frame rusting. My frame is rusted out and now I-??m told that the recall has expired. This is unacceptable and poses a threat to the lives of Me, my family and all Toyota drivers everywhere.

My vehicle was subject to a frame corrosion Limited Service Campaign. I brought the vehicle in for inspection and was advised there we 2 options: Frame replacement or Corrosion-Resistant Compound treatment. The dealership advised the vehicle did not qualify for frame replacement, and opted to apply CRC. The CRC application was performed June 11, 2014. I have documentation. I was recently advised by my mechanic that the gas tank straps are failing, and they cannot replace them due to corroded frame. The cross member requires total replacement due to extensive frame rotting. I believe that if Toyota had done the responsible thing as part of the recall, and replaced the frame instead of applying CRC, this issue would not occur today. I would respectfully like to request the NHTSA look into this matter.

Frame has rotted out before rear wheels and cross support for gas tank. Toyota did a recall on it in 2014 but the fix didn't last 7 years and now this vehicle could break in half or loose its gas tank creating a danger to driver and / or others. The vehicle is in great shape and low mileage and is nowhere near end of life otherwise. Toyota is offering no support at this time claiming they fixed the problem in 2014.

I have a 2006 Toyota Tundra that is in perfect condition mechanical and body no rust, recently found out about frame that has a hole in it on the right front it has been confirmed by dealership that it cannot be driven. In 2015 I took truck in for the recall for the frame obviously something was not done properly. After doing some research I'm finding out Toyota has been having problems with frames from about 2000-2009. The main issue here is if we did not notice this problem and someone is driving the vehicle and frame breaks and someone gets hurt who is responsible

In 2014 Toyota had a recall on the frame rusting issue. I had Toyota of Hanover Pa review the truck frame and they said it didn't meet the requirement for a frame replacement and they applied under coating. Now in 2021 the frame is starting to show signs of rust along the main frame beside the fuel tank when I had the vehicle in for inspection. I was a little confused sense it was undercoated but then reading more about the undercoating it may have made it worse by holding the moisture in and making it rust. I contacted Toyota to see if they would replace and or help me with the cost in replacing the frame since the truck is in excellent shape with 114k. And there response was NO the recall has expired and we can not do nothing. I priced a frame replacement and its over 11k. Also, reading a lot of other Toyota Tundra complaints about the undercoating and not installing a new frame around the same time period and everyone feeling the coating was going to last as long as the truck. I would appreciate any help on your end with this issue.

The chassis is rusted and the tires started leaning out because they are no longer supported fully. The vehicle is unsafe to drive now because of tire issues, and control. Insurance and or police will not look at because no accident occurred yet. I just notified Toyota who said the recall on models such as this had ended in 2015. The used car dealer my son just purchased from 5 months ago has denied any knowledge of the problem.
