Description of the problem	Frame is severely rusted and called about a previous recall to replace the frame but they told me that i had just missed it and the recall had ended? I told them that i had the truck at the time of the recall but was never notified of the recall. I had received other promotions about new vehicle discounts for toyota owners, but never about any recall on the truck at all? Now the frame is rusted even worse but i have to continue to drive the truck because i cannot afford another vehicle at this time! The other day i pulled into my driveway and noticed the vehicle making a noise and when i looked under the vehicle, the fuel tank strap had rusted and fell apart and the fuel tank was hanging down. I had to take a ratchet strap and strap the fuel tank back up to the frame because i have to have the truck to drive to work. I look now and there is a recall about the corrosion on the fuel tank straps and on the spare tire carrier and such and yet again i was not notified about the recall. Had the fuel tank not fell out on me and then me look on your site to find out about it, i would again not have known there even was a recall until it was too late to do anything about it ! I need to know what can be done about getting toyota to honor the frame replacement recall on my truck that i was never notified about even though i know that they knew i owned it because of the other mail they had sent me about new vehicle offers for current toyota owners? Any and all help appreciated as i cannot afford to buy another truck having so much money in this one that is eventually going to break in half as i drive it down the road which is not safe for me or anyone else on the road around me. I live in kentucky where is one of the primary areas for salt. Thank you, [xxx] 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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
