Description of the problem	It started with my gas tank falling off the frame. My wife was driving the truck at the time the gas tank band broke that holds the gas tank to the frame. I then found a hole in the frame on the driver's side, just in front of the sway bar mount, large enough to place my hand in to the center of my palm. Obviously, this vehicle is not safe to drive. I then contacted my dealer that i purchased the vehicle from, down east toyota of brewer, me. The lady i spoke with (lynn), from down east toyota of brewer, maine, was condescending and arrogant eluding that the problem was somehow my fault. I learned from her that apparently there was a recall for rusted frames. I do not recall getting this recall information. But let that go, my dealer that i bought the truck from (down east toyota in brewer, maine) has told me that i should feel fortunate that i got 10 years from the truck. Since this is as long as they are supposed to last anyways. My dealer (down east toyota of brewer, maine) told me my option was that they have a person that buys used vehicles and i could make an appointment with them to see what the junk buyer would give me for my truck. Or, i could pay to have the frame replaced. Given the severity of this kind of issue, and the safety issues raised with a damaged frame, i would have expected to receive notification through registered mail of the issue. Or at least, a follow up letter to insure the first notice was received. As i said, i do not remember getting such notification. I have written to toyota and have heard nothing back as of yet.

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.
