They did complete frame replacements on many of them. It can''t hurt to ask, they might still have some laying around.
Ask your local dealer. They LOVE recall work, they get a huge check from Toyota for it.

If it's documented that they checked it, should be on them.

This one came into a dealer for an oil change. The rusted frame gave way during the service. Toyota is paying the dealer $8000 to replace the frame. It is an ongoing issue with these vehicles. Not sure of the year but I'd say early to mid 2000s.
ETA: not sure where this was taken now; I got the pic from my son whose buddy works at a local Toyota dealership. |

Took 3 weeks just to get the frame. With 198000 miles on it had them replace the clutch, do a few other things while apart. All new brake lines etc. My only complaint, the rear springs are a bit mushy compared to the original TRD springs. Truck is good to go for another 10 Midwest winters. |

I had new rotors thrown on my Tundra for free after they checked and said everything was fine and I found a recall. I was out of the service date as well. People like to shit on guys for using the dealership but right here is where it might just save your ass. Documentation baby... |

They said they didn't detect any frame rust and that was it. I don't recall any talk of applying a sealer. |

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v197/panzersergeant/010.jpg That's because they aint on the road long enough to oxidize.
My father in law had a beat to fuck taco with a ton of miles. He might've got two or three grand for it if he found the right sucker. Ended up with some rot in the frame, brought it into a dealer. They put it up on a lift and whacked the rusted spot with a hammer. *pow*, right through. I think they gave him like nine grand for the truck, and they let him take it home and strip everything off it he wanted. Radio, cap, tires, I think running boards... "We don't care, we're just going to crush it." It just had to get there under it's own power, so he turned up some dented to fuck rims with some tires worn to the bands, and there it went. So he went out and bought another taco in the same general age range but in far better shape, and dropped his tires, cap, etc on that one.
Best resolution to a recall I've ever heard of! |

Im a service advisor at I Toyota dealer, actually at work right now. Toyota will work with you. I have seen them help out customers farther out of warranty/warranty extension than that. Ive seen them pay for several thousands in cylinder head repairs for a vehicle that was out of powertrain warranty by about 30,000 miles.

I'll update the thread with the outcome of my conversation with them on Monday. If they let me take advantage of the rust warranty extension despite being a couple of months out I'll be buying a brand new taco asap (assuming this one can't be repaired, which I would guess will be the case it's looking bad). |
