I find it interesting that my 2002 toyota may be recalled due to the spare tire mounting being rusted. I have been very disappointed with this truck since the gas tank the rear differential cover and fuel lines have rusted through. I bought this vehicle due to the toyota reliability reputation. Would you please review the frequency of rust on these areas and issue what ever recalls appropriate. *tr
