I had the chassis inspected by a toyota dealer before this january…

Main frame of the 2005 tundra is rotten from rust and a chunk of the frame has fallen out. See picture. I contacted local toyota dealer and they said there is nothing they can do as recall has expired and toyota corporate will not do absolutely nothing. This tundra was supposed to be sprayed in 2014 as part of the "fix" but the frame is rusting and rotting apart. More signs of rots are visible on the frame.

I made an appointment with a toyota dealer for inspection/recall in early february. They said the corrosion on the…
