| Description of the problem | Toyota tundra frame recall - frame coating applied per recall in 2014. Vehicle inspected twice by dealer in 2018 & 2019 and vehicle determined to be ok. Recently experienced loss of brakes and crash into garage. Vehicle inspected by independent mechanic and found 2 perforated and rusted brake lines. Scraping away the undercoating uncovered other corrosion in various degrees. Determined that spray undercoating came way to late as truck already had 9 years of corrosion. Undercoating only hid the problem. Submitted a claim with toyota who offered no assistance. |
