NHTSA Complaint #11046989 — 2014 TOYOTA TACOMA

BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM A PRIVATE SELLER. FOUND OUT ABOUT THE TOYOTA FRAME RECALL FROM A 3RD PARTY. BROUGHT MY TACOMA IN FOR THE RECALL IN 2013 BUT TOYOTA DID NOT WANT TO CHECK IT BECAUSE I WAS A COUPLE MONTHS PASS THEIR DEAD LINE. NEVER GOT A RECALL LETTER. IN 2014 I HAD THE TRUCK FRAME CHECK AND UNDERCOATED BY A SMALL BUSINESS IN THE AREA BECAUSE I LIKE THE TRUCK AND WANTED IT TO LAST. FALL OF 2017 WENT TO GET THE TRUCK INSPECTED AND INSPECTION STATION TOLD ME MY FRAME WAS GETTING BAD. WHEN I GOT HOME I WANTED CHECK IT OUT FOR MYSELF TO FINE OUT IF MY FRAME WAS REALLY GOING BAD. AS I WAS CHECKING THE FRAME, I WAS ABLE TO PASS MY FIGURES THROUGH THE INSIDE OF MY FRAME. CALLED TOYOTA TO REPORT THIS AND THEY ARE SAYING THAT SINCE I DID NOT BRING MY TRUCK TO GET CHECK IN 2012 THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME. THEY SAID THAT IT WASN'T A RECALL BUT A BULLETIN THAT THEY HAD IN 2012.
