Description of the problem	No-one has been hurt, injured or killed to our knowledge, yet. The toyota corporation is offering a buy back of 1995-2000 tacomas due to frame "failure" and manufacturer issues with the frames on the trucks built in those years. We took our 2001 toyota tacoma that was manufactured in oct. Of 2000, to a dealership and they refused to look at it because it was not in the buy back range. The frame was extremely rusty and because we had heard about the "buy back" we wanted it looked at solely because of the oct. 2000 manufacture date. We contacted a lemon law lawyer and they said we have a case, and gave us toyota's corporate number. We were told by toyota that it would be sent through a claims process and they wanted us to make an appointment to have the frame looked at. At the appointment at the dealership, the tech looked at the frame and said that a toyota field representative would need to be brought in due to the concerns he had. The field representative came in from california and looked at the frame. He tapped it with a hammer in a few places and it went through. They told us we could not have our tacoma back as it would not pass inspection any more and arranged a rental. We were told that we would get 150% of the retail price for buy back by one of the toyota employees. We were told at the dealership by the representatives to keep quiet and not tell anyone else about what was happening with our tacoma, which we thought was odd. A month later, we receive a phone call from toyota saying that they would give us only 12,000 dollars for a truck that by their own standards of 150% of retail, though it was the 2001 model year, was worth over $19,700. They told us that it was their final locked in number and that it was take it or leave it. We told toyota that it was terrible that they would treat us this way and told them they would hear from a lawyer in some capacity. We have reported our experience to the attorney general of new york state ... (continued).

A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
