(whichever comes first), we at Toyota
care about the customers’ ownership experience. Toyota is providing coverage for repairs
related to vehicle frame corrosion perforation.
A separate program will be announced in the future and will include CRC (Corrosion Resistant Compound) application. Toyota is

Climate States that do not meet vehicle frame replacement criteria. This Limited Service Campaign has not yet launched at the time
