| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | I noticed the low tire light was blinking, and checked all the tires for pressure, and they were fine, then i looked under the truck and saw that the bracket that holds the round bar that is part of the steering mechanism, had actually pulled completely out of the frame due to rust, this truck frame was supposedly treated in 2014, and obviously did little to take care of the problem, of frame rot. Toyota is replacing frames on the majority of tundra's and tacoma's, but not my specific year. It is quite obvious 2006 tundra's have the same problem. |
