Excessive corrosion of the rear cross member may cause the separation of the spare tire stowed under the truck bed which would present a road hazard that could cause a crash.

  On certain vehicles operated in areas of heavy road salt usage, excessive corrosion of the rear cross member may cause separation of the spare tire stowed under the truck bed.

A spare tire that separates during vehicle usage could impact nearby persons or objects resulting in personal injury and/or vehicle and property damage. Correction: dealers will inspect the rear cross member and surrounding components and, depending on the amount of corrosion detected, either apply a corrosion-resistant compound or replace the cross member assembly.

In extreme cases, when the driver continues to operate the vehicle in this condition, the lower ball joint may separate from the knuckle causing a loss of vehicle steering control. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the front lower ball joints.

I've owned this vehicle for 18 yrs. During that time air bags have been replaced on models above and below my year model. Every two or three years, i inquired at dealerships when this series will be replaced. Always with the same answer, not required because not enough accident reports to warrant replacement. During that time i've only had one small finder bender not affecting the air bags to deploy. Curious why this year and model was never required to replace air bags?

First the gas tank let loose and fell half way off. Result was a new gas tank installed. Then part of the frame rusted from the cab. This resulted in having to have it welded. Have had several service repair lights come on that resulted in more fixes. Today just about does it. The spare tire fell to the road because rust ate through what was holding it up. I have all the papers that show the repairs and what it has cost me. I have not done anything yet about spare tire. I have had the truck since 2013 and it has less then 94k miles on it. It had 35 when i bought it and i knew nothing about the rust problem recall. I certainly believe i should have a new frame or some kind of compensation. Over the years i have talked to several dealers that got me no where. I guess this is my last shot.

I almost hit another vehicle while braking at a stop light. My front brakes gave out. Had new brakes and rotors installed 2 yrs ago and after this incident found that my brakes failed because toyota refused to fix this problem they knew existed 1 gen toyota tundra. They changed enlarged the front caliber and pads on 2 gen toyota because they realized the brakes whe re w to small on the big v8 trucks. I drove aprox 25000 miles on brand new brakes. I should not have to pay for upgrading my front brakes due to a manufacturer defect, how can they get out of recalling these vehicles it is very dangerous and hope they accept responsibility for improper equipment installed on vehicles. I read that they did upgrade some vehicles that where still in warranty why not all?? Vehicles regardless of warranty.???

On june 9th at about 2pm while driving through my neighborhood, my upper an lower ball joints on my 2002 toyota tundra separated from my vehicle causing a catastrophic loss of control of truck and tore my hub with tire from vehicle ripping the brake fuel line and shoving entire components up under my tundra while losing control with no brakes or steering capability. It also destroyed the drivers side front tire. Needless to say if i was say...Going 55 to 60 miles per hour on highway...I would not be writing this. Had truck towed to checkered flag toyota and they quoted me a price of over1300$ in repairs... They are fighting me on fixing my truck damages even though said damages were caused by the ball joint recall on the 2002 tundra...Recall i d#05v

2002 tundra was recalled for the rusty frame. I had mine inspected at the time of the recall. The dealership sprayed the frame of my truck. Now my frame is severely rusted and unsafe to drive. The balance of my vehicle is in good condition with approximately 200,000 miles. Will i be eligible for repair or replacement? Who should i contact? Thank you bridgette gartmann

My vehicle is unsafe to drive due to how badly the frame is rusted.

Loud knock turning the wheel to the left, rack and pinion leakage, inner outer tie rods can snap cause an injury or death. Headlights are very dim even the bright lights are dim. An oncoming car is not even phased when i have my bright lights on. It's difficult to see very well with those [xxx] lights they're almost in amber color tried to use lens renew did not work.

The frame has rusted so badly that the spare tire fell off into the highway and nearly caused the vehicle behind to almost wreck.Upon arrival at home i looked at the frame and noticed that the u-bolts holding the rear differential are almost rusted off and will need to be replaced. The entire frame is rusted badly. I think something should be done!!! This vehicle has been taken care of and has seldom been off-road. I am a 72 year old man who does not abuse my vehicle. Thank you jerry wakeland
