I've owned the truck for a year bought on Dec 2019 3rd owner. I see that mines not listed as recalled for frame rust but I'm not sure why when the gas tank looks like it going to fall off and seems only critical sections are severely rusted like the gas tank and where the rear shock absorber sits. I could only see these spots now because they are hard to spot places where the frame joins.

The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Tundra. While driving approximately 60 mph on the highway, a tractor trailer entered the contact's lane. The contact depressed the brake pedal and it became stuck to the floorboard. The contact described the failure as a complete loss of brake function. In an effort to avoid a crash, the vehicle was downshifted to third gear and then second gear to stop the vehicle. The contact drove to Toyota knoxville (10415 parkside drive, knoxville, Tennessee 37922, (865) 312-6618) where it was diagnosed that the brake lines failed. The front and rear brake lines were repaired. In addition, the fuel tank bracket was replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and provided the contact with case number: 1808302087. The failure mileage was approximately 117,000.

Gas tank rear strap is broke and gas tank is hanging down. This truck has never seen a Michigan winter I'm in Florida for the winters and the truck is in near showroom condition.I don't know steel was produced for the straps but it is dangerous, especially for use in securing the gas tank, they should have been stainless steel.this should be a recall, I have found out they were replaced if your frame was replaced so why not just replace the straps if need be.

It started with my gas tank falling off the frame. My wife was driving the truck at the time the gas tank band broke that holds the gas tank to the frame. I then found a hole in the frame on the driver's side, just in front of the sway bar mount, large enough to place my hand in to the center of my palm. Obviously, this vehicle is not safe to drive. I then contacted my dealer that I purchased the vehicle from, down East Toyota of brewer, me. The lady I spoke with (lynn), from down East Toyota of brewer, Maine, was condescending and arrogant eluding that the problem was somehow my fault. I learned from her that apparently there was a recall for rusted frames. I do not recall getting this recall information. But let that go, my dealer that I bought the truck from (down East Toyota in brewer, Maine) has told me that I should feel fortunate that I got 10 years from the truck. Since this is as long as they are supposed to last anyways. My dealer (down East Toyota of brewer, Maine) told me my option was that they have a person that buys used vehicles and I could make an appointment with them to see what the junk buyer would give me for my truck. Or, I could pay to have the frame replaced. Given the severity of this kind of issue, and the safety issues raised with a damaged frame, I would have expected to receive notification through registered mail of the issue. Or at least, a follow up letter to insure the first notice was received. As I said, I do not remember getting such notification. I have written to Toyota and have heard nothing back as of yet.
