Description of the problem	My 2004 toyota tundra sr5 4wd crewcab is showing significant sign of frame rust that's compromising the structural integrity of the frame and thus operational safety of the vehicle. Despite being barely used over the years and at just 144k miles, in certain sections of the frame there are holes where the frame has rusted through. The ride quality feels a bit wobbly, even after examination and rectification of other mechanical issues (suspension, joints, etc.) upon further research, this issue seems to be pervasive issue among first generation toyota tundras made in the us of this period. The result is very premature rust and complete disintegration of the truck frame. The primary cause was poorly made truck frames from a toyota vendor that ended in a class-action lawsuit. Toyota has offered extended recall to inspect and replace all affected truck frames as appropriate. I seek to be included in this program and proper assessment by an authorized toyota dealer. As this issue affects both the resale value of my vehicle and more importantly the operational safety of this vehicle, i request that the issue be expedited by the right authorities. Thank you!
