This compliant is applicable to toyota tundra trucks ~2000 to 2003 models. A very strong brake vibration felt through-out the vehicle coming down mountain passes (i live in colorado).

Improper front brake caliper size, which causes warping of the front brake disc ,and subsequent serious steering wheel vibration of my 2002 toyota tundra. Toyota is declining to issue an official recall of the defective brake components, and dealers have been uncooperative in fixing this problem. I hope no one has to be injured for toyota to take this seriously.*ak
