 Description of the problemI recently purchased a 2007 toyota tacoma that was involved in the frame rust recall. My local toyota dealership informed me that even though there are currently rust perforations in the frame (many frames were replaced by toyota at no cost during the original recall) that because toyota inspected the frame (with a previous owner in 2016) and did not find any issues large enough at that time to cause the entire frame to be replaced, that their "crc" undercoating they applied was all that was necessary. Less than 3 years later (maybe sooner, but i just got the vehicle) the frame has holes in it and toyota is not going to do anything about it but offer a full out of pocket $10,000-$15,000 frame replacement. There must be thousands of these vehicles from the original recall that were only sprayed and not replaced that are now unsafe to drive with absolutely no recourse for new (aka unaware) owners because no warranty of the spray whatsoever exists. Undercoating in no way prevents rust from continuing to rot away and make holes in frames - all toyotas that were only sprayed but did not have entire frame replacement should be required to get new inspections by toyota and revisit the need for frame replacements.

  • 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.

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