What can you expect from the Toyota Frame Recall? Read on >>
Update: You can find out specifics of the class action and Toyota Frame Settlement at www.ToyotaFrameSettlement.com
“Toyota Motor Corp has agreed to a settlement of up to $3.4 billion for a federal class action brought by U.S. owners of pickup trucks and SUVs whose frames could rust through, plaintiffs lawyers have said in court papers.” – Reuters
Well then.
Hopefully this resolves a lot of the headaches that Tacoma owners are facing resulting from the frame rust recall. Now, the real question is whether or not they cover the entire cost and don’t put anyone through the same issues that I went through and documented below.
Looks like this covers Tacoma trucks from 2005 to 2010, Sequoias from 2005 to 2008 & Tundras from 2007 and 2008.

Hi Dan,
I brought my 2005 Tacoma to dealer for inspection yesterday. The frame failed inspection as anticipated (I knew the frame had really bad rusts near the catalytic converters). Look like they are trying to scam me. They told me I have to pay for parts that gets damaged or broken during the frame replacement process. I did not agree. They say, they’ll try their best not to damage it and worry about it when the time come. Checking the documents from the Court order, it said: “……With respect to all Subject Vehicles, If any perforation in the frame is found to be 10 mm or larger, then the frame will be replaced, as well as all applicable parts and service items incidental to frame replacement, such as cables, harnesses, pipes, clamps, tubes, hoses, spare tire carrier, spare tire carrier plate, bolts, brackets, and wires and all fluids will be replaced, as required.” — I’m gonna have to stand my ground and hope I won’t have to go through the same nightmare you went through. I also contacted the lawyers office that handled the class action. Hope they can give me advice regarding my rights — Thanks for your website and posts. The info is helpful and “re-assuring” !
