Consumer Description
ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2019, MY 2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA (PURCHASED NEW IN 2004) DID NOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO RUST HOLES ON THE FRAME; MILEAGE WAS 81,147. I LOOKED UP VIN NUMBER ON NHTSA AND THERE IS ONLY ONE RECALL DATED OCTOBER 2019 NOT FULFILLED FOR MY VEHICLE. A LOCAL DEALER INVESTIGATED MY VIN NUMBER, AND TOLD ME THERE WAS A D ZERO D/LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN (EXPIRED 2015) REGARDING RUST PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED BY TOYOTA ABOUT THIS. I HAVE NOT MOVED/CHANGED ADDRESS SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, AND I DID RECEIVE AND FULFILL THE 2016 AND 2007 RECALL NOTICES. I CALLED NHTSA AND TOLD THE WOMAN ON PHONE ABOUT THE D0D/LSC AND SHE FOUND IT FOR ME UNDER 'MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATIONS'. I HAVE TAKEN GOOD CARE OF IT AND HAVE ALL OF MY SERVICE RECORDS. I EXPECTED IT TO LAST AND AM DISAPPOINTED TOYOTA DID NOT NOTIFY ME. I AM REQUESTING NHTSA MAKE THESE LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGNS FOR VEHICLES VISIBLE WITH THE OTHER RECALLS. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING BACK FROM YOU AND A RESOLUTION OF THIS PROBLEM.
