I TOOK IT FORT'S TOYOTA OF PEKIN AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP ME AND THAT I COULD CALL TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD HELP SINCE I DIDN'T NOTICE IT TILL AFTER WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED EVEN THOUGH I'VE HAD EVERY SERVICE DONE AT THEIR PLACE SINCE NEW. YOU WOULD THINK THE 27 POINT INSPECTION THEY PERFORMED EVERY TIME WOULD HAVE CAUGHT IT BEFORE WARRANTY EXPIRED SINCE THEY HAD A TSB ON THE RUST THROUGH PROBLEM.

I HAD MY 2007 57,800 MILE TUNDRA INSPECTED AT MY TOYOTA DEALER WHEN I WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRAME/UNDER VEHICLE IS "VERY RUSTY". UPON INSPECTION BY MYSELF THE ENTIRE FRAME IS RUSTING AND FLAKING OFF. THE SERVICE TECH PLAYED STUPID AND REFERRED ME TO CORPORATE(800-331-4331). SHE ALSO SAID IT PASSED INSPECTION AND THERE ARE NO HOLES IN THE FRAME. I GUESS THAT MAKES IT ALL OK. CORPORATE INFORMED ME THAT MY TRUCK HAS NO "WARRANTY SERVICE ENHANCEMENTS" AT THIS TIME. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT CAN OFFER ME NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WITH THIS ISSUE, AT THIS TIME. I SHOULD NOT HAVE SEVERE RUST ISSUES WITH A GARAGE KEPT 2007 TUNDRA(OR ANY VEHICLE) AT 57,800 MILES THAT I PURCHASED NEW. I SUSPECT THE VEHICLE WILL HAVE SAFETY ISSUES WITHIN THE NEXT 2 YEARS DUE TO THE SEVERE RUSTING OF THE FRAME.

TOYOTA TUNDRA RUST AND CORROSION IN TRUCK BED. COMING FROM BELOW. SPREADING LIKE CANCER AND THIS WAS POSTED ON JULY OF 2012 # TSB-0101-12. RUST HAS COMPLETELY EATEN THROUGH TRUCK BED FLOOR AND THERE ARE SEVERAL (8+) OTHER SPOTS. I'M NOW CONCERNED WITH SAFETY FOR MY FAMILY. I FIRST NOTICED THIS ON 9/9/16 AFTER REMOVING MY BED LINER FOR FIRST TIME TO THEN HAVE A SPRAY LINER IN PLACE. I THEN TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEN CALLED TOYOTA. IF THEY WOULD'VE INFORMED ME OF THE TSB, I WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO HAVE FIXED AS THIS ONE MAJOR HOLE IS MORE THAN 5 YEARS IN THE MAKING. WITH THE TIMING OF THIS TSB THAT WOULD'VE PUT ME INSIDE THE 5 YEAR CORROSION WARRANTY. YOU JUST NEVER THINK TO LOOK UNDER BED LINER AND NOW IT'S TOO LATE PER TOYOTA. VERY UNHAPPY

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB LIMITED 4X4. I STARTED NOTICING RUST DEVELOPING IN MY TRUCK BOX IN MARCH 2011. I REPORTED IT TO TOYOTA IN CANADA AS THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IMPORTED FROM THE USA INTO CANADA FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER BACK IN 2007. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT TOYOTA USA FOR CORROSION WARRANTY. WHEN I CONTACTED TOYOTA USA I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS CURRENTLY NO RECALL FOR THE ISSUE I WAS EXPERIENCING AND I WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER CORROSION WARRANTY BECAUSE MY TRUCK HAD BEEN EXPORTED OUT OF THE USA. IT WAS NOT UNTIL A FEW YEARS LATER I WAS TOLD BY THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE AS WELL AS AN ISSUE OF FRAME RUSTING. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CANADA TO SEE IF MY TRUCK WOULD BE COVERED. I WAS TOLD THAT ONCE AGAIN THIS WAS AN ISSUE THAT WOULD HAVE TO MANAGED BY TOYOTA USA. I CONTACTED TOYOTA USA AND WAS TOLD THAT I WAS OVER THE 5 YEAR UNLIMITED MILEAGE AS WELL MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN EXPORTED FROM THE USA SO EITHER WAY IT WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN COVERED.
