Toyota and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have announced that Toyota will recall approximately 110,000 Tundra pickup trucks from the 2000 to 2003 model years in 20 cold-weather states and the District of Columbia to fix a frame rust and corrosion problem that could cause the spare tire to fall away from the truck.
Originally, NHTSA's investigation covered only 2000-01 Tundras but during Toyota's investigation of the problem, the number of trucks discovered with the problem grew to include 2002 and 2003 models.
"Through our investigation, we found there was a small quantity of 2002 and 2003 trucks with the issue," Brian Lyons, Toyota's Safety and Quality Communications Manager, told PickupTrucks.com this afternoon. "That's why this recall has expanded to include those additional trucks in the 20 cold-weather states."
