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.
