My vehicle needs an alignment. I was told by the Toyota dealership that the frame on my vehicle is rusted and needs to be replaced. Toyota Tundras do have a recall for the rusted frame but my vehicle isn't part of this recall since its 3 months newer. I was told by the Toyota service rep at the dealership that my vehicle is unsafe to drive. I contacted Toyota and they claim that they cannot do anything about this.
I had the check engin lite checked at the Toyota dealer. The Tundra required a complete exhaust system including catalytic converters at a cost of $4000. 00. The dealer found that the frame was rusted through and notified Toyota. Toyota will pay to replace the frame. However the 2004 modle year is not part of a recall.
Extensive rust is located on the frame of the truck. This 2004 Toyota Tundra was built on the Toyota tacoma frames before Toyota made the larger Tundra and frames. It's therefore likely that the same extensive rust recall for the previous years tacoma's should extend to the Tundra's that were once built on these frames. Since the delivery date on this truck is December 31, 2003, it is believed that this vehicle should also be recalled under the same premise. The pictures from the recalled tacoma frames look very, very similar and there should be a check on whether or not this 2004 Toyota Tundra frame has the same exact problem.
