1 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 02/26/2010

I own a 2001 Tundra. I just learned of 4 recalls: nhsta #09e025000, 09v444000, 06e026000, and 06e065000. We received no notification from the companies required to do so. The truck is registered. We purchased the truck new and have been the only owners. We have not changed address since the purchase. I believe the failure to be notified was deliberate to avoid the cost of compliance with the recall. I have been unable to get any of the 4 companies involved to respond to phone messages.

2 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 06/13/2003

Taillight bulbs fall out of the socket. We returned the vehicle to the dealer a coulple of times and they put the bulbs back in but didn't fix the problme that the sockets don't have enough spring tension to secure them in place. I've since blocked them in place with toothpicks to increase the tension of the sockets. Cheap fix but they should replace the sockets.
