The contact owns a 2002 Toyota Tundra. When the contact took the vehicle to be state inspected, he was informed that the front passenger suspension sub-frame was rusted and had holes. As a result, the vehicle failed inspection. The contact took the vehicle to a repair shop to be welded, but the mechanic stated that this was not possible. He then took the vehicle to the dealer and they advised him not to drive the vehicle because it could not be repaired. Report number 0906143367 was filed with the manufacturer, but they would not assist. The current and failure mileages were 114,000.

Cab separated from chassis. Cab is attached to chassis at 4 flanges welded to frame. 2 each 10 mm bolts connect cab to each flange. A 71 mm hole exists in flange between the 2 each 13 mm holes for the 10 mm bolts. Only 6 mm of flange steel exists between 13 mm holes and 71 mm hole. Cab separated by tearing 10 mm bolt nuts through the 13 mm holes at the 6 mm dimension. It has been my experience in aircraft structureal repair that the minimum dimension for hole spacing is 3 hole diameters (I.e., hole spacing should have been approximately 30 mm instead of 6 mm).
