Description of the problem	Frame recall: when i received notice of this recall i took it to a dealer in slc, ut and had it checked on 9/22/08. I was informed that it was fine and they didn't do anything to it. Now 8 years later, my truck has turned into a safety hazard because the frame is so rusted out, i can't even get my brake line that recently broke repaired. I have been told that this particular recall expired in 2014. I don't understand how a recall can expire. Nor do i understand that if my frame was fine in 2008, how it could have rusted away to this extent so quickly. The state of the current rust was pointed out to me in 2016. I understand that i have been driving the truck for 16 years; however, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the engine and i had hoped to drive it till the engine died. Please explain to me how this recall could expire when it did and why toyota won't accept any responsibility for replacing the frame.

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.
