1994: “I have a 1994 Toyota Truck,4x4,4cyl,5spd. . The frame is totally rusted from behind the gas tank(which is unnoticable unless gas tank is removed)to the rear bumper. The exhaust and drivers rear side of the frame has rusted as well. Im each year replacing the exhaust due to rust. The frame has had a patch welded to it that I was unaware of until I had a mechanic do repairs to it. Each mechanic I have taken it too, says the recall for the Toyota frame rust should have gone back to 1994,as this is a common problem he has seen with this year as well. …”
