Description of the problem	I have a 2001 toyota tacoma that appears well into the initial stages of frame problems. Appears to have excessive rust formation and some bubbling. Appears to be the same issue that 95-2000 tacomas are being recalled for. Toyota though will not include newer tacomas, with the same problem in their buyback program for the 95-2000's and are offering significantly less when the frames fail. This is both discriminatory and highly insulting to the newer tacoma owners. We should be offered the same buyback options and conditions as the earlier models. Free inspections to determine if the problem exists should also be provided, as they are with the earlier models. The frame issue extends well beyond the previously mentioned years and toyota needs to do what is right for all tacoma customers. Under their present provisions a 97 tacoma would be bought back by the company for more than my 2001, with the same issue and problem. This is a major safety issue that when identified, renders your vehicle useless and decreases its resale value to nothing. Toyota needs to be offer the same buyback option and incentives as with the 95-2000's. They also need to publicly admit that many tacomas of all years are having the same failure. It could cost some unknowing individual their life, if the frame failed.
