Toyota Tundra Bed Rust Recall
Left uncorrected this problem could eventually cause the frame to break apart potentially causing serious accidents but in any case making the trucks unusable.
Toyota tundra bed rust recall. This finally approved class action settlement includes inspection of the customers frame and if the frames meet or exceed the Rust Perforation Standard based on the court ordered inspection. Toyota in 2016 settled a class-action suit by agreeing to spend 3 billion to repair millions of Tacomas Tundras and Sequioa SUVs with rusting. So asked him if he agreed that there is rust eating away at the bed around the bolt holes.
Russell Maas 12 Comments Toyota has agreed to pay nearly 35 billion to settle a class. To fix it Toyota recommends replacing the entire box and bed at 6000 to 7000. Surrounding metal area surrounding all screws that hold bed onto frame completely rusted.
I asked my dealer many times over the years if there were any recalls on my truck and it. I recently cut out 8 spots. I have owned cars for 22 years.

I never received a recall letter for the frame from Toyota. The recall was expected to begin last month. There was a recall for the rusted frame but not the bed.
I have read a lot of the old posts on this issue and it seems theres not much you can do to fix it or prevent it other than maybe slow it down with something like POR-15 paint. On May 21 2017 a settlement of claims in a class action lawsuit involving 2005-2010 Toyota Tundra vehicles regarding frame corrosion was approved. Stopped by my local Toyota dealer today to ask about TSBs on this issue.
