Description of the problem	I purchased a new 2007 toyota tacoma (vin # [xxx]) from boch toyota of norwood ma. It currently has 44,836 miles on the odometer. In july 2014 toyota has a safety recall for corrosion of frames on vehicles like mine. At that time they only removed loose rust and applied some kind of rust proofing. On march 25, 2016 i took my truck in for another recall. This recall is for corrosion of leaf springs. Both leaf springs were replaced. The manager said they had found corrosion damage to the frame of my truck, including a rust through or crack in an area below the passenger side door. He said the frame should be replaced and i should contact toyota, because they have replaced such frames under the terms of the frame corrosion recall. I contacted toyota. My case # is [xxx]. Toyota said the frame recall ended in july of 2014, and since the damage was not noted until later, then it was not covered. My complaint is: ? This problem is not caused by normal use, but is a safety defect, which toyota acknowledged with their 2014 recall.. ? The inspection of my truck for corrosion and frame damage in july 2014 missed the severity of the problem with my truck. ? The application of rust proofing was either not properly done or inadequate to address the damage, which the recall intended to address. ? Toyota? S deadline for having the frame replacement work done under their recall is march 31st 2016. I reported my frame damage and requested replacement prior to that date a toyota rep said that, because their technicians did not note the severity of my frame damage in 2014, a frame replacement by toyota is not covered now. This truck has seen very light use. The condition of this frame is a safety defect, which toyota has covered in other cases. Toyota should cover frame replacement for my truck under the 2014 recall. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

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.
