Description of the problem	2001 toyota tacoma frame rusted through and verified by local dealership. Toyota is buying back up to 2000 year models but 2001 models are excluded. When the frame is rusted through, regardless of the year, this is a serious safety issue that the national highway transportation safety administration needs to address with toyota corporation. Arbitrarily selecting the years and last vehicle identification number toyota will cover in the buy-back program is ridiculous as this rust issue is bigger than what toyota has anticipated. We filed a claim with toyota they said our vehicle did not qualify for the 150% buy back, however they would buy it back for the current retail value. Our truck was built in september 2000 (qualified there), but the vin number was 4,096 past the cut-off (didn't qualify there). Toyota builds 3,500 tacomas per week. What makes them think that there weren't some bad frames still in their inventory at the time our truck was built. Some 2001 tacoma owners have reported that toyota has taken their truck away from them (after inspection) and have held it for several months and won't give it back to the owners and are only offering retail for a settlement. 2001 tacoma owners have no choice... Accept the current retail price we have offered you because you won't get your truck back. 2000 tacoma owners... Here is 150% of the retail value and we'll take that rust bucket off your hands.

What is Recall?
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.
