The vehicle's structure (frame) is failing. A recall for corrosion susceptibility was disseminated for the make and model of my vehicle. A coating was applied to the frame, and I was then told by Malloy Toyota that rust will now NOT become a problem for the frame, as "it's been properly treated according to Toyota's standards following the recall." However, upon State Inspection yesterday, 9/21/26, I was told that much Rust Damage exists on the frame. The vehicle is available now for immediate inspection. My safety is immediately put at risk because I'm driving a vehicle whose structure is now compromised by the recall Toyota said they "prevented" and therefore fixed. The problem has indeed…

Took 2010 Toyota Tacoma to independent garage for a problem with tire pressure sensor. The sensor was fixed, however employee of the garage made us aware that there was substantial rust/corrosion on the Tacoma frame. Have made 2 calls this last week to the Toyota Customer Relations/Brand Engagement specialist. Gave the representative all information that we have on the truck and talked to them about the rusted/corroded frame. They had stated that on our particular vehicle that Toyota had sent us out on 11/2017 and 11/2018 a warranty enhancement letter that had addressed this problem. We have never received either of these communications from Toyota, because if we had, we would have pursued…

The passenger side lower A arm frame mount broke, due to frame rust. The truck has been taken to Toyota, they had the truck for about 6 weeks and have refused to fix the safety issue.This year model had a recall on the frame, it was taken in for the recall, but the recall has failed. When the lower A arm frame mount broke, I just happened to be in a parking lot. If I had been driving it, I could have killed someone, or could have been killed myself.

2010 Toyota Tacoma with 91K miles have frame corrosion and now has holes. I contacted Toyota motor sales USA, Inc. and informed them why I NEVER received a recalled and they said it was mailed May 2019 and expired in 2022-thereâs nothing they can do and if I went to the dealership for my inspections they would of known of the recall instead of going to an independent dealer. Iâve attached current photos showing the extent of corrosion over the years. Unbelievable, the recall should still be open.

I am the original owner of a 2010 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport, 4 door, 4WD, with a 6' bed, VIN # [XXX] , with 215902 miles. During the replacement of the leaf springs on 1/27/26, under recall #14V-604, I was informed by the Toyota dealership that installed the leaf springs that there was extensive corrosion on various points on the frame to the point where it was unsafe to drive. The frame has developed severe perforation and rust-through. There are large holes in the frame, and sections missing. The corrosion is spreading across multiple points, making the vehicle unsafe and at risk of structural failure while driving. I called Toyota and they said the frame recall expired in 2022. I will be…
