Description of the problem	My 2001 toyota tacoma truck was showing excessive frame rust. I noticed this when changing the oil. I had mentioned this to a few friends of mine who recently told me of a recall for 1995 through 2000 tacomas for the same reason. I took my truck to the dealership where i purchased the truck new in november of 2000. The service manager inspected the frame and filed a report with toyota. They sent out an inspector who looked at the frame and filed a report. I was told they would be in contact within 2 to 3 weeks. After not hearing from them, i called the service manager back and asked if he had heard anything at which time he had me call the customer assistance number for toyota. They gave me a claim number and said i would be hearing back within 24 hours. I got a call from toyota telling me they were aware of the claim, that my truck was not part of the recall and someone may contact me back. When i asked when, they said they had no answer for me. They also told me my truck was not under warranty at this point, which i was already aware of this fact. My truck was inspected over a month ago and i have received nothing. I am afraid to drive my truck and with winter coming on, i have no vehicle to drive in the snow. My truck has less then 100,000 miles on it and is in excellent shape other then the frame. Toyota needs to make this right. I am very disappointed in how they are handling this with the owners of the 2001 and up trucks. They should be required to take responsibility for these vehicles immediately and not by screwing people with offers of less then they are offering the owners of 1995 through 2000. That just adds insult to injury.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
