Toyota's tundra corrosion recall focuses on the frame, fuel tank mounting, and spare tire mounting hardware. If the frame has no perforations and the fuel tank suspension and spare tire mounting are sound, the truck is determined to be safe. My tundra has been so inspected by a dealer, passed their test, and found to be "safe.". My complaint is that the vehicle's undercarriage shows extensive corrosion of frame,…

2001 toyota tundra failed yearly pa state safety inspection for frame rust.

Per dealerships suggestion, called toyota customer experience center which then opened and assigned a case number. The truck has now been at the dealership almost three weeks awaiting direction from a toyota…

I own a 2001 toyota tundra and the spare tire winch mechanism which is attached to the rear cross member is very rusted. To minimize the risk of a crash from the spare tire falling from the underside of the truck while moving, i took the recommendations of the nhtsa website and removed the spare tire and placed it in the bed. I then noticed that the rear brake proportioning valve was extremely rusty as well. I took…

The spare tire separated from the cross member on my 2001 tundra. Fortunately i was at slow speed. I now know you have opened an investigation but wanted to be sure to log the issue. My truck is no longer drivable and toyota has told me that they do not have the parts to fix it yet. I think it is time that you require toyota to replace the frame and all associated components. This is not isolated to just the rear…

2001 toyota tundra frame rust: toyota has had my truck for three weeks now and finally i heard from someone on 12/4/09 saying that my truck is not safe to drive. They will not provide me with any report from the evaluation they did as to why it's unsafe. I believe it has more to do with the frame and not the cross members as they currently suggest on the recall. I purchased this truck based on their ads of vehicle…

I was actually able to remove large pieces of metal flaking off the frame. The frame does not appear to be safe. When i tapped the frame with my knuckle, it gives off a crunchy noise and has a general "give to the…

I was driving east on route 109 in millis, ma. Where i live. As i stopped for a red light, the spare tire on my 2001 toyota tundra longbed dropped onto the pavement. There was no injury, i simply pulled over and recovered the spare. I feel extremely lucky that this did not occur on a major highway! A rather large tire would be right in the path of whoever was following behind. There is a short cable and hunk of…
