Consumer Description
MY TOYOTA TACOMA FRAME BROKE DUE TO RUST. THE LEAF SPRING MOUNTING BRACKET BROKE LOOSE FROM THE FRAME AND HE FRAME ITSELF BROKE DUE TO SEVERE RUST. THE TRUCK IS NOW INOPERABLE. THERE AS A RECALL ON SOME TOYOTA FRAMES, BUT APPARENTLY THE RECALL ONLY APPLIES TO "COLD" STATES, NOT HAWAII. MANY OF MY FRIENDS HAVE TACOMAS AND THEY ALL HAVE RUST ISSUES. I ALSO HAVE A 2010 TACOMA WITH LESS THAN 6000 MILES AND I HAVE ALREADY NOTICED THAT THE FRAME IS RUSTING BY THE LEAF SPRING MOUNTS.
