Description of the problem	Engine warning light came on while driving early morning 9/7/18. Returned home and called local mechanic, supreme automotive. Made an appointment and took the truck in to have the problem diagnosed. Called later to tell me frame rust was too bad to remove certain bolts to test exhaust sensors. Unable to calculate a repair estimate. Since i had some experience with a 1999 tacoma that had extensive frame rust, which toyota recalled and eventually bought back, i decided to call toyota before anything else. I was told by toyota that the original owner of my tacoma had responded to a 2009 corrosion recall notice. The undercarriage had been treated. I bought the truck from fox toyota in spring 2011 after my 1999 was deemed unsafe. None of the service records for the 2003 indicated either the recall or the treatment. I was also told that the so-called subsequent recall, of which i was never informed, expired 6/13/18. Notification supposedly should have reached me through the california dmv, even though the truck originated in michigan. Had i received notice i would have responded immediately, as i had with the 1999 tacoma.

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.
