Tires, temporary/emergency spare tireNov 23, 2012
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2001 through 2004 Tacoma light trucks manufactured from August 28, 2000, through August 27, 2004, and originally sold, or currently registered, in the following cold climate states with high road salt usage: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia. The spare tire in the subject vehicles is located underneath the rear of the vehicle and held by a spare tire carrier. A lift plate on the carrier is used to help raise, lower and retain the tire. During its manufacture, the lift plate may not have been sufficiently coated with anti-corrosion materials. If the plate is insufficiently coated and the vehicle is operated in cold climate regions where road salts are frequently used, road spray can reach the carrier assembly and corrode the lift plate.
Corrosion of the plate could cause it to break, which could result in detachment of the spare tire from the vehicle. Detachment of the spare tire could result in a road hazard which may increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
Toyota will notify owners, dealers will inspect the vehicle and replace the spare tire carrier lift plate as necessary, free of charge. The recall began in February 2013. Owners may contact their Toyota dealer or the Toyota Customer Experience Center at 1-800-331-4331.

I DISCOVERED THAT BOTH SIDES OF THE FRAME ARE BROKEN JUST AHEAD OF THE REAR AXLE. THE CAR REPAIR SHOP WHERE I TOOK IT SAID THAT I WAS LUCKY THAT THE BREAK DIDN'T RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS RECEIVED EXCEPTIONAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE AND THE BODY LOOKS NEW. THE VEHICLE IS USED FOR COMMUTING TO WORK AND OTHER "LIGHT DUTY". THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY POOR QUALITY FRAME AND I HAVE LEARNED THAT TOYOTA HAD A RECALL ON IT. REGRETTABLY THEY SHOW LITTLE CONCERN FOR THE THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES STILL ON THE ROAD VULNERABLE TO FRAME BREAKAGE. MOREOVER, MOST PEOPLE DRIVING THOSE VEHICLES HAVE NO IDEA THAT THEIR VEHICLES COULD BREAK APART AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC RESULTS. JUST BECAUSE A RECALL ENDS (OFTEN PRIOR TO WHEN MANY WHO CAN ONLY AFFORD TO BUY USED VEHICLES ACQUIRE THEM) DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE SAFETY ISSUE HAS BEEN FULLY RESOLVED. THIS REMAINS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT TOYOTA IS SIMPLY IGNORING (THEY TELL ME IT IS NO LONGER THEIR RESPONSIBILITY!!!). I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE NOTICED THE BREAKAGE WHILE PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON MY VEHICLE. OTHERS MAY NOT BE SO FORTUNATE.

I'M TRYING TO SELL MY TACOMA. THE FRAME IS RUSTED. I TOOK IT TO A TOYOTA DEALER WHEN THE FRAME RECALL WAS SENT TO ME. THEY SPRAYED THE FRAME WITH A CORROSION RESISTANT TREATMENT. OBVIOUSLY, THIS HASN'T SOLVED THE PROBLEM AND I WANT A NEW FRAME. I HAVE 134,000 MILES ON THIS TRUCK. IT'S IN GREAT SHAPE EXCEPT FOR THE FRAME. MY MECHANIC SAID IT'S A SAFETY FACTOR BECAUSE THE SPARE TIRE BRACE IS RUSTED; THERE ARE HOLES IN THE FRAME NOW. ACCORDING TO A LETTER FROM TOYOTA USA PRESIDENT, THEY ARE ALLOWING REPLACEMENT FRAMES UP TO 15 YEARS.

THIS MORNING I TOOK MY LOW MILEAGE (58,926) 2003 TOYOTA TACOMA TO MY MECHANIC FOR A COUPLE OF SIMPLE REPAIRS. WHEN ROAD TESTING, HE DISCOVERED EXTENSIVE RUST ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FRAME. DURING THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER RECALL TWO YEARS AGO THE TOYOTA DEALER SLAPPED UNDERCOATING ON IT AND SAID NOTHING. THIS DANGEROUSLY EXTENSIVE FRAME RUST SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL? WHAT DOES IT TAKE?

I AM LOOKING FOR INFORMATION REGARDING THE TOYOTA FRAME CORROSION RECALL. I CURRENTLY OWN A 2003 TOYOTA TACOMA THAT FALLS UNDER THIS WARRANTY AND MY FRAME IS COMPLETELY CORRODED AND NOW DEEMED UNSAFE. TOYOTA HAS TOLD ME THAT THEIR RECALL HAS EXPIRED AND THEREFORE MY FRAME IS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH WE WERE INITIALLY TOLD THAT THE FRAME WAS UNDER WARRANTY FOR 15 YEARS. AT THE INITIAL TIME OF RECALL WE BROUGHT OUR TRUCK TO OUR LOCAL DEALER (GREENTREE)FOR A FRAME INSPECTION AND THEY ADVISED ME THE FRAME WAS IN GOOD CONDITION BUT THERE WAS NO PROCESS IN PLACE YET TO SPRAY THE FRAMES ...NOW MY FRAME IS COMPLETELY ROTTED THROUGH AND TOYOTA HAS ADVISED ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. I WOULD LIKE SOME INFO ON HOW THIS MAJOR SAFETY RECALL CAN "EXPIRE" AND WANT TO EXPLORE MY OPTION FOR TOYOTA TO FIX THEIR ISSUE AND MY TRUCK THANK YOU *TR

FRAME RUST. I WAS JUST INFORMED THAT MY 2003 TACOMA HAS A SERIOUS FRAME RUST PROBLEM AND IS NOW UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I CONTACTED A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THIS CASE WAS CLOSED AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP. MY BIGGEST CONCERN WAS I HAD THIS SAME TRUCK IN THE SAME DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL ON THE SPARE TIRE HOLDER (RUST PROBLEM) AND THEY DID NOT MENTION OR CHECK THE FRAME TO SEE IF IT WAS SAFE. MY SON WAS IN A SMALL FRONT END COLLISION AND THE ENTIRE FRAME BENT AND BUCKLED. HOW COULD THIS VEHCILE BE ALLOWED ON THE ROADS.
