Toyo[/FONT][FONT=arial, verdana, sans-serif]ta[/FONT] has initiated a recall of its [FONT=arial, verdana, sans-serif]Ta[/FONT][FONT=arial, verdana, sans-serif]coma[/FONT] pick-up from the 2001 to 2004 model years, with up to 150,000 units affected. [FONT=arial, verdana, sans-serif]

Tacomas sold in 20 snowbelt states and the District of Columbia could have an issue with the lift plate on their spare tire carrier,
which is a piece of metal that helps raise the emergency spare wheel located at the back and underneath the truck.

The plate might not have been properly coated with anti-corrosion protection, and this could lead to the plate corroding on trucks
driven in states that use salt on the roads during the winter. A lift plate failure could lead to the spare tire coming loose and causing an accident.

The trucks are 10 yrs old and operated in the rust belt, really a recall, how long should you expect a vehicle driven in an area like that to last without corrosion issues?
