Tundra 4WD 8-cyl

  • 140,000 miles
Front suspension stabilizer bar rusted off of frame, resulting in large, structurally compromising hole in the welding location on the frame. When turning into my driveway I heard the stabilizer bar detach from the frame. The driveway is modestly sloped which caused my left wheel suspension to flex as it would in any ordinary driving conditions. Upon inspection of the frame, I noticed that the detachment resulted in a small hole. Upon cleaning up the effected area, however, I noticed a massive hole in the frame. Little did I realize that I had been driving on a completely unsafe vehicle this whole time. Toyota has a recall in place for these exact same components for 2000 -2003 Toyota Tundra. Why isn't there a recall in place for these? they are the same parts. The first two photos are before wire brushing the area. The last two are from after brushing them.
