The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Tundra.

I took my truck to the dealership of Toyota in Riverside, CA and the staff there told me there was no recall for my vehicle. Can you please verify if my vehicle is under warranty? I also went to the smog inspection and told them about my situation and they said my vehicle may not be under recall since sometimes certain vehicles under the same year are grouped together with a specific recall.

Paint prematurely chipping in areas that’s would and would not be affected by wind down to bare metal.

Extensive rust and rot of entire frame, and undercarriage. The truck bed unsafe to walk on has several soft spots almost broken through, gas tank holder rusted out- worry about gas tank dropping from frame, tow hitch and rear bumper rot etc. Side step fell off. Toyota has a Service Campaign and Warranty Enhancement Program for Tundra but not this year- built 9/2010 San Antonio but listed as 2011 model on VIN. I am original registered owner and have never been contacted about this factory failure use of inferior untreated frame materials but learned about it from internet research. Would like my vehicle covered under current Service Campaign.
