Description of the problem	I have recently received a frame recall notice due to excessive corrosion which i addressed at the local dealership. I was informed that the rust had not perforated the frame and that it would be treated to prevent further rusting. When i picked up the truck at the dealership the associate advised me that the recall was done and that a full safety inspection was completed which revealed no other problems. When i returned home i looked under the truck to inspect the frame and noticed that both sway bar links had corroded and broken off . I also subsequently took the vehicle to an alignment shop because i noticed the steering wheel was not straight and was told by the shop that the truck could not be aligned. I was told that the vehicle was very dangerous to drive and to bring it to the dealership immediately which i did. The dealership service department discovered that the steering shaft coupling was so corroded that they needed to replace it and do a wheel alignment. I am concerned that this may become a common safety issue with the tundra which seems susceptible to excessive rusting and am requesting that this issue is investigated an a recall issued if necessary.
