I personally have not heard about the frame rot issue on Tundras. However the Tacomas did have a "recall" on frame rust throughs (I had a 1998 Tacoma). Actually, I found the rot on mine before the recall ever surfaced. Thought I was getting a deal by trading it on a new Tundra in 2007 and as it turns out, lost out bigtime because about a month after I made the trade the recall came out. Toyota was not just giving people new trucks either. They were buying the Tacomas back off of the owners at 150% of the current value. So, basically if I would have waited another month I would have got $15k for mine instead of the $10k they gave me on the trade in. The frame rot on the Tacomas was in the rear of the truck above the rear axle. (Mine was rotten where the upper shock mounts attach to the frame). G/L Jim

If it is just the spare tire carrier that is rotten, I doubt they will buy back the truck. I would think the major supporting frame rail of the truck would need to be rotted through for them to actually do a full fledged recall. Mine could have been fixed really, but it would have been a major pain in the ass because the bed of the truck would have needed to been removed and it could have been plated to regain its ridgity. If yours is indeed rotted beyond repair, I'm sure that Toyota will take care of you in a fair manner as in my opinion, they stand behind their product better than any other car maker out there.
