While changing a fuel tank strap that broke due to rust, i noticed the cross member at the front of the fuel tank is rotted right through where it meets the main frame. Truck has been undercoated. I talked to toyota and they told me they are not fixing it at this time as there is no recall. How ever the 2005 and 2006 sequoia are part of this recall as well as the 2007 to 2009 tundra.

The frame on this 2006 toyota tundra has rusted to the point of making this vehicle unsafe to drive. This degradation has happened far sooner than the expected retirement age for this vehicle. Toyota has not included this frame as part of it's frame rot recall which applies to many other frames from similar years.

Rusting of frame impacts structural integrity of vehicle. 2004-2006 model years were subject to a voluntary limited service campaign on the heels of a recall to the 2000-2003 model years. The limited service campaign is ineffective at mitigating the safety concern over the structural integrity of the vehicle. 2007-2008 are subject to recall as well. Nhtsa should address this matter to ensure toyota resolves the…

Frame rust on front of vehicle in the "crumple" zone. I was told by toyota that it was part of limited service campaign d0d for 2004-2006 tundras and that a sealant was applied in june 2014 and no other action will be taken. These vehicles clearly have structural integrity issues due to known frame rusting resulting from a manufacturing deficiency that are beyond the scope of the limited service campaign for the…
