REAR UNDER CARRIAGE / FRAME HAS EXCESSIVE CORROSION THAT SHOULDN'T BE CONSIDER NORMAL WEAR. TRUCK WAS EARLIER RECALLED FOR REPLACEMENT OF LEAF SPRINGS DUE TO POTENTIAL FAILURE FROM CORROSION. LIKEWISE, DO BELIEVE FRAME, LIKE SOME EARLIER MODELS OF TACOMA'S, SHOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED FOR RECALL. FIRST SIGNS OF CORROSION/RUST BEGAN @ 2014 AND HAS BEEN PROGRESSING STEADILY.
