 Description of the problemEarlier in the year of 2017, a class action lawsuit against toyota (brian warner et al. V. Toyota motor sales) was settled regarding frame rust and corrosion. This lawsuit led to the recall of all 2005-2010 tacomas, 2007-2008 tundras, and 2005-2008 sequoias. Being that the sequoias are based off of the tundra it is interesting that the respective years of tundras were not included with the sequoias. The argument for the case was that there was not any rust protectant put onto these frames and therefore they were rotting prematurely and causing serious danger to the people who drive them. I have even read stories of trucks snapping in half under their own weight when being put onto a lift. I am the owner of a 2006 tundra and am experiencing this exact same problem but am not covered under this recall. One of the rack and pinion mounts that are welded onto the frontmost crossmember of the frame is 2/3 rotted away and is almost to the point where it will break off leading to an unsafe vehicle and potentially deadly accident. This is the reason toyota lost this lawsuit and why other vehicles with this same problem have been recalled. Toyota also recognized this issue in 2015 with a limited service campaign which expired and offered no warranty enhancement for it. I recently visited a toyota dealership who went under the vehicles and claimed that the rot is so bad underneath my truck that they would replace the frame entirely if it had been recalled. They also gave me documentation of this. Essentially my frame is beyond repair and potentially deadly because of the negligence of the toyota motor company. I then contacted the toyota corporate number and was given a case number but they refuse to do anything about it. If the 2006 sequoia was included which is based off of the tundra, and has the exact same frame, why wasn't the tundra included with this recall?

  • 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.
