The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Tundra. While driving at unknown speeds, the front driver side wheel detached without impact from the vehicle. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to autonation Toyota South austin (800-ih 35th S, austin, tx 78745, (512) 900-1045) where it was diagnosed that the driver side ball joints needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact was concerned about the ball joints on the passenger side. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 179,383.
Was driving about 10 mph when truck suddenly listed heavily to the left, the control arm and lower ball joint had failed and the tire was on the ground, when Toyota was contacted they stated that it was not included in that particular recall due to the VIN number. It is at the dealership awaiting an inspection by our auto insurance company before being repaired at a rather large cost. They also tried blaming the people who have done our tires and also the company who does our oil changers etc.
2006 Toyota Tundra SR5...I have noticed a major wear in the tire on the driver side. I just today noticed there was a recall on this problem with the lower arm and ball joint.
