I had my vehicle inspected as part of the recall campaign involving excessive rust. However, the required work to replace the fuel tank straps and crc coating was not done. Now, dealer records indicate that the truck has been serviced under the recall, and i can't have the work done. While my truck is not now in a cold climate state, it was originally sold and owned in one.

I am very disappointed with this and have now heard several complaints from others…

The bed of my truck has roughly 8-10 rust holes that all formed on top of the cross member supports. One hole formed over the bed bolt which has now rendered this bolt useless in holding down the bed. All rust came from under the bed and eventually made its way through. There seems to be a serious factory defect in the seem sealer that they used around the cross members. The sealer broke down which allowed moisture…
