I have a 2006 Tundra with 120k miles and I was told it wasn't one that was effected by the recall. However I'm have frame rot issues and just had to spend thousands of dollars to make it safe. This is the second time I've had to repair the frame in the 4/5 years I've owned it.

My 2006 tundra has major rust on the frame to the point it isn't safe to drive anymore. I have reached out to Toyota and my local dealer and have received the same answer from both saying its not something that Toyota will cover, despite the fact that there was a national safety recall that started in 2016 for rust related issues.

The frame/chassis of my truck has sections that are completely rusted out. For instance, the part of the chassis that is responsible for holding the fuel tank in place is rotting away. I know there was a service campaign to have these trucks coated with some preventive coating but that is as effective as the original coating. The truck needs a new frame due to rust.
