I TOOK MY TOYOTA TACOMA 2006 IN FOR SERVICE AT PAULY TOYOTA 1035 S. ROUTE 31, CRYSTAL LAKE, IL 60014 LAST NIGHT AND THEY FOUND SEVERAL CRACKS IN THE FRAME, THE AREA WERE THE SPRINGS ARE MOUNTING TO, IS REALLY RUSTED AND IN REALLY BAD CONDITION. THE CRACKS DON'T SEEM TO BE NEW, AND THERE IS EVEN PAINT IN BETWEEN THE CRACK SO THEY KNEW THE CRACK WAS THERE IN FEBRUARY 2015 WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCK TO BE PAINTED, THIS WAS PART OF THE FRAME RUST RECALL BY TOYOTA. THE FRAME WAS NOT WIRE BRUSH AT LEAST TO GET SOME OF THE RUST OFF FOR THE PAINT TO ATTACH TO IT, WITHIN 2 MONTHS BIG PIECES OF METAL AND PAINT WERE FALLING FROM THE FRAME. ON SEPTEMBER OF 2015 I TOOK MY TRUCK TO PAULY TOYOTA TO BE INSPECTED FOR HOLE OR PROBLEMS IN THE FRAME, BECAUSE OF THE BIG PIECES OF METAL FALLING FROM THE FRAME AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS OK. NOW A YEAR LATER THE FRAME HAS SEVERAL CRACKS.

VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO A LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR FRAME CORROSION THAT EXPIRED MARCH 2016. I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS CAMPAIGN AND WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THE CAMPAIGN AND THAT THE CURRENT STATE OF THE FRAME IS QUESTIONABLE TO PASS VIRGINIA STATE INSPECTION NEXT YEAR. I HAVE FILED A BBB COMPLAINT AND THE RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA WAS THAT THEY ARE COMPLIANT WITH ALL REGULATIONS AND THAT NO ACCOMMODATION OR EXTENSION OF THE LSC WILL BE CONSIDERED. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO NOW HAS A VEHICLE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY FAIL DUE TO AN ACKNOWLEDGED DEFECT BY THE MANUFACTURER.

In the affected vehicles, one of the leaf springs may fracture due to stress or corrosion. While being driven, the broken leaf could move out of position and contact surrounding components including the fuel tank, possibly puncturing the tank and causing a fuel leak.
Consequence & remedy
