UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE NHTSA WEBSITE LISTS 3 RECORDS IN THE RECALL DATABASE AND 11 RECORDS IN THE SERVICE BULLETINS DATABASE THAT MY LOCAL DEALER SAYS HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT, AND THAT TOYOTA AT (800) 331-4331 (# FROM NHTSA WEBSITE) SAYS DOES NOT MATCH THEIR DATABASE (THEY SHOW "NO RECALL CAMPAIGNS OR SERVICE BULLETINS AGAINST MY TRUCK). WHO IS RIGHT AND WHY DON'T YOUR DATABASES MATCH? I AM ESPECIALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE STEERING/FRAME CRACKING MENTIONED ON YOUR WEBSITE. PS. YOUR HOTLINE NUMBER IS USELESS. THE ANSWERING MACHINE JUST GOES INTO A DO-LOOP. I EXPECT BETTER SERVICE FROM MY GOVERNMENT. NO SAFETY DEFECT MENTIONED IN SUMMARY. REQUESTS RECALL INFORMTION. *AK

THE REAR LEAF SPRING BROKE, A 4" SECTION IS MISSING FROM THE MIDDLE. THE STILL ATTATCHED PART HAD SWUG ROUND AND WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE INSIDE WALL OF THE TIRE.

THE HEAVIEST ITEM EVER CARRIED IN THIS TRUCK WEIGHED 480# AND HAS NEVER BEEN USED "OFF ROAD" AND NEVER HIT A POTHOLE OR THE LIKES. *AK
