| Description of the problem | Spare tire assembly has excessive corrosion. Spare tire could fall from vehicle while traveling. The tundra frames are under recall for rust, this assembly is included with the new frames. My truck frame is in good condition and does not need to be replaced. The only area of my truck with rust is the spare tire assembly but toyota refuses to replace it. How can this be part of the replacement package if my entire frame was rusty, but not if it is the only area with rust ? Sure seems like a safety issue to me. |
