Description:
Toyota is recalling model year 2000-2003 tundra vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the following states: connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, kentucky, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, virginia, west virginia, wisconsin and the district of columbia. excessive corrosion of the rear cross member may cause the separation of the spare tire stowed under the truck bed which would present a road hazard that could cause a crash. also, corrosion of the rear cross member could affect the rear brake lines and the proportioning valve resulting in diminished braking capability.
Consequencs:
Separation of the spare tire and diminished brake capacity could increase the risk of a crash.
Notes:
Toyota is asking owners of the affected vehicles to remove the spare tire from under the vehicle until a remedy can be obtained. dealers will inspect the rear cross member and related components, including the brake lines, and replace them if necessary. if the cross member does not need to be replaced, it will be sprayed with a corrosion protection compound. these services will be performed free of charge, however multiple visits to the dealer may be required. the safety recall is expected to begin on or about april 30, 2010. owner may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

Component: Air Bags > On-off Switch Assembly
Manufacturer: Toyota Motor North America, Inc.
Description:
Certain pickup trucks fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 225, 'child restraint anchorage systems.' these vehicles have a manual air bag on-off switch to disable the front passenger air bag and do not have a child restraint lower anchorage system in the front passenger seat. this specification does not meet the standard requirements.
Consequencs:
This standard establishes requirements for child restraint anchorage systems to ensure their proper location and strength for the effective securing of child restraints, to reduce the likelihood of the anchorage systems' failure, and to increase the likelihood that child restraints are properly secured and thus more fully achieve their potential effectiveness in motor vehicles.
Notes:
Dealers will remove the manual air bag on-off switch, replace the owner's manual, and affix a new sun visor air bag warning label. the recall began in early january 2007. owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

Component: Vehicle Speed Control > Accelerator Pedal
Manufacturer: Toyota Motor North America, Inc.
Description:
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2004-2010 passenger vehicles. the accelerator pedal can get stuck in the wide open position due to its being trapped by an unsecured or incompatible driver's floor mat.
