Description of the problem	My tundra was under the frame rust recall in 2014. Toyota's claim was that the salt from the roads caused the severe corrosion. As we all know this was actually from the use of sub standard steel in the manufacturing process. My frame was actually de laminating, not just simple surface rust. When i had taken it in for inspection all that was done was wire brush the frame and spray with an undercoating. Now just a little under three years later the coating is peeling of along with more layers of metal. Most of the people i know with tacomas and tundras had their frames replaced when theirs were taken in. So now i have a truck that is no better than it was before. Also most of the chassis components are rusting out prematurely as well. My spare tire winch mechanism (carrier) bracket was about to rust through, luckily i caught this before i possibly could have dropped my spare when traveling on the interstate. I would appreciate someone from nhtsb taking a look at my vehicle to see the extent of what i am talking about. My vehicle only has 67,000 miles on it. I did contact toyota service about this, but their answer was you have what you have and they will not do anything further. I'm sure i'm not the only one in this situation. My frame should have been replaced. Thanks

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.
