The frame is covered by a recall. toyota is limiting it to certain states. i was in one of those states (maine). toyota says the car must be registered in one of those states. my registration ended at the end of october. we know live in florida which is not covered. the frame was inspected by a toyota dealership in florida that said it needed to be treated for rust. (recall). but because my registration changed they are using it as a reason not to cover vehicle. i believe it is a safety issue and that they are using loopholes not to cover all the vehicles that should be covered.
