Consumer Description
I AM WRITING ON MY 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA. I JUST NOTICED THE RECALL DUE TO RUST FOUND ON THE REAR FRAME. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO ALERT YOU RUST FOUND ON THE FRONT SUSPENSION JOINTS. I JUST REPLACED MY FRONT SWAY BAR LINKS DUE TO RUST. THE LINKS SNAPPED OFF AND THIS CAUSED THE TRUCK TO LEAN MORE IN THE TURN OR CAUSE MORE BODY ROLL. THIS I BELIEVE IS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF YOU NEED TO PERFORM AND EMERGENCY MANEUVER THIS COULD CAUSE THE TRUCK TO LOOSE CONTROL. WHILE I WAS UNDER THE TRUCK REPAIRING THE LINKS I DID NOTICE A LOT OF RUST IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION THAT LOOKS LIKE IT COULD FAIL. THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS HAVE HEAVY AMOUNTS OF RUST. I DID NOT LOOK AT THE SPARE TIRE BRACKET AS MENTION IN THE RECALL BUT I HAVE NOTICE THE RUST IN REAR SECTION OF THE FRAME. THE LOCATION BOTH SHOCKS HAVE HEAVY RUST AT THEIR POINTS OF ATTACHMENT AS WELL AS THE BREAK LINE HOLDERS. I HOPE YOU FIND THIS INFORMATION HELPFUL FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTION. *TR
