Description of the problem	I recently purchased a 2006 toyota tundra from a toyota dealership in feb 2015. While doing some routine maintenance in may 2015 to the vehicle i noticed some frame rust. When i took a closer look i noticed that some areas of the frame rails where pieces were connected appeared to be starting to separate due to rusting. I contacted a local toyota dealership and took it in on june 20, 2015 for them to have a look. After one of the techs on site looked at the truck frame he told his manager that if this truck came into their shop they would have replaced the frame as part of a recall. The manager took some pictures and said that he would get back to me. After not hearing back for a couple weeks i called the dealership and the manager told me that since the frame was previously coated with a protective coating as part of a toyota recall for rusting frames that there was not much more they could do. I then opened a case with toyota customer care due to my concern of safety and questions about the decision that was made to take no further action on this vehicle even though the recall was still and active campaign. Toyota basically gave me the same response as the dealership. I asked if they could at least review the truck to make sure it was safe for driving and they told me that the truck was recalled and the frame was coated with a protective coating and that was basically the end of what they could offer. My concern is that the frame is obviously still rusting so whatever fix they performed did not work. Whether it was done improperly or perhaps not the correct decision based on the condition of the frame toyota should have at least gave this case a second evaluation considering that the campaign was still active when i had it at the dealership. I have serious concerns about the safety of driving this truck considering that the frame continues to rust.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
