Rear leaf springs. Rear leaf spring broken- appears to have just broke. Do minor towing maybe 4000 lbs a few times a years. Vehicle has 88,000 miles on it. I have never had a leaf spring break. This is definitely a material flaw.

Rear passenger leaf springs failing at 60k miles. I notice the when looking at the truck, it sits unevenly. I've noticed the ride hasn't seemed as stable/sturdy and then noticed the issue with the suspension, I'm assuming its leaf spring related as there are numerous issues mentioned on various forums but I've not noticed a recall issued yet.

One of the leafs in the rear passenger side leaf spring broke and slid against the tire rim while driving on a city street. The piece of leaf spring "could" have jammed in my rim and caused an accident or damage or fallen off causing a problem for drivers following me. I have spoken to several other Toyota Tundra owners and they have had the same problem with cracked / broken rear leaf springs. I have to assume this is a common occurrence since I was unable to purchase new leaf springs from Toyota in a timely fashion because the had a large back order on leaf springs for my model.

There is extensive corrosion damage to all metal fittings and metal fuel and hydraulic lines. The rear axle is severely corroded and leaking oil through the casting requiring replacement. There is a fuel line failure next to the exhaust manifold. The corrosion damage to the steering system fittings requires replacement of the rack assembly although the system operates properly. There is corrosion damage to many of the suspension connection points to the frame including rear springs. Dealer deems the vehicle unsafe in it¿s current condition and recommends it be sold for salvage. There is little to no corrosion damage to the body that can be seen from a visual underside inspection and vehicle looks in excellent condition from the outside. Vehicle was dealer maintained per the manufacturer's maintenance schedule.

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.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Tundra. While driving 60-65 mph, he heard a chattering noise coming from the vehicle. He felt that the vehicle spring and shock absorbers caused the failure. The failure mileage was 20 and current mileage was 1,000. Updated 02-14-08. The consumer stated there was a design flaw with the rear suspension springs.
