My '08 Tacoma had the frame recall and a leaf spring recall, along with the fictitious brake pedal recall.
My leaf springs were replaced 2 weeks ago for free - at their cost of $1425.
I had the vehicle undercoated so my frame was mush better protected than most.
However, its obvious that Toyota used some inferior steel for the frame - most likely Chinese.
I've heard of a couple of Toyotas collapsing on the hoist.
$1425 to replace rear springs? Holy mackeral! Someone is getting screwed. You can buy a new pair for under $250 and it only take a couple of hours to change them at home in the driveway. A shop with a hoist and good jacks can do it even faster.
