1 Rear Suspension Springs problem

Failure Date: 01/26/2010

I own a 2000 Toyota Tundra 4x4 limited access cab. I took it in to my local dealership on 4/26/2010 for unrelated servicing and because I was concerned about the amount of rust on the rear frame components. I had heard about the recall and assumed that they would tell me something. I was told that it was ok, and that I would be contacted when they have the anti-corrosive treatment ready. Today is 11/24/2010 and I have still heard nothing. Pieces of the frame rails continue to flake and fall off in sheets (some approximately 4 inches long and 1/16th of an inch thick or greater). I'm concerned about the structural integrity of this vehicle. I'm especially worried that the rear springs will give out while driving and cause injury or worse. Nhtsa and usdot should look into this problem. Toyota needs to compensate owners of these vehicles as was done for the tacomas that experienced the same failure. The rusting problem is much greater than just the rear cross-member.
