I had the check engine lite checked at the toyota dealer. The tundra required a complete exhaust system including catalytic converters at a cost of $4000.00. The dealer found that the frame was rusted through and notified toyota. Toyota will pay to replace the frame. However the 2004 model year is not part of a recall. *tr

Extensive rust is located on the frame of the truck. This 2004 toyota tundra was built on the toyota tacoma frames before toyota made the larger tundra and frames.
