| Description of the problem | I have noticed previous recalls from older model toyota trucks due rust occurring to frames and beds. Currently, there is no recall for my 2013 tundra specific to this. However, it seems like the frame rust issues continued past the earlier recall. My truck is 2013 toyota tundra with approx 35,000 miles. There is rust on the frame and bubbling through my truck bed liner. From forbes i noticed there was a $3. 4 billion recall for toyota trucks and suvs from 2005-2010. From further research on various forums, i noticed others having similar issues. I spoke to toyota, they stated there is no recall for my year truck. I will share some photos from rust bubbling through the truck bed. If you would like additional photos i would be happy to share. I really am unsure the next coarse of action. I have never submitted anything to nhtsa before. I would love for you to research this further to determine if a recall could be issued. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
