Dad got a recall notice in the mail a little while ago for his '01 Tacoma regarding some problems with the frames rotting out too soon. He finally got his truck in for inspection, and sure enough his frame had a few holes rusted through already.
So now his almost 10 year old truck is gonna get a brand new frame underneath it. In the mean time he gets a loaner and his truck will be in the shop for 7-10 days after he brings it in for the frame swap. They need to order the frame which will take some time, and they say it'll be a month or 2 before they'll be likely to get it in.
I think just about his whole truck has been replaced now. He hit a deer with it back in December of 02, and then 2 years ago he put it in the ditch and wiped out the drivers side of the box. Now I think it's just the passenger side door and box side that hasn't been replaced or repainted. And the cab roof.
Now if only they'd recall those blasted seats and give him something more comfortable to sit in....
Anyone else getting a new truck frame courtesy of Toyota?
