The contact owns a 2002 Toyota Tundra. The vehicle failed inspection due to a fracture on the frame caused by excessive rust. The manufacturer advised the contact to speak with a dealer. The dealer stated that since the vehicle exceeded its warranty they would not assume any responsibility. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure and current mileages were 40,000.

Cab separated from chassis. Cab is attached to chassis at 4 flanges welded to frame. 2 each 10 mm bolts connect cab to each flange. A 71 mm hole exists in flange between the 2 each 13 mm holes for the 10 mm bolts. Only 6 mm of flange steel exists between 13 mm holes and 71 mm hole. Cab separated by tearing 10 mm bolt nuts through the 13 mm holes at the 6 mm dimension. It has been my experience in aircraft structureal repair that the minimum dimension for hole spacing is 3 hole diameters (I.e., hole spacing should have been approximately 30 mm instead of 6 mm).
