PREPARATION
PARTS
To assist dealers in determining the correct part number(s) to order, a website has been set up to look up part
numbers by VIN. Please go to https://tacoma-2011-2017-frames.imagespm.info/ select the appropriate
campaign/vehicle, enter the VIN, and the correct part numbers to order will be displayed. The website is for
part(s) application reference only and won’t order the parts, confirm campaign completion status, or
confirm campaign applicability.

Based on the results shown in the parts look up site you will be able to
determine if the vehicle needs wax application or not. Confirm what parts are
listed in the site shown above before proceeding

BACKGROUND
Toyota has received a number of reports regarding frame corrosion perforation on 2011
– 2017 model year Tacoma vehicles. In these reports, customers have indicated that
vehicles operated in specific cold climate areas with high road salt usage may exhibit
more-than-normal corrosion to the vehicle’s frame. This condition is unrelated to and
separate from normal surface rust which is commonly found on metallic surfaces after
some years of usage and/or exposure to the environment.

VEHICLE INSPECTION WORK PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Vehicle frame inspection is performed under CSP ZKA, for inspection instructions go to CSP ZKA
Frame Replacement Technical Instructions.
• Because of variations in State and local laws, dealerships conducting K0D in certain states
may require government approvals prior to starting the campaign. Depending upon the state,
dealerships also may be subject to restrictions on the number of vehicles to which the CRC
can be applied in any single day, week, or month. Please refer to the Dealer Information
Packet and any Supplements for important information about any such approvals or
restrictions that may apply to your dealership. Your dealership must adhere strictly to these
requirements.
• For a complete list of Site Selection Guidelines, Fire, Building, and Zoning Codes information
for your state, please refer to the Dealer Information Packet as well as any Supplements.
Please ensure your dealership complies with all regulations and all issued
packets/instructions.

OTHERS
1.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEMS
When the spray equipment, sealer gun or the wand tips are clogged, leaking, abnormal noise, etc., please
DO NOT operate the equipment and contact the following:
Bosch Technical Assistance Line - 1-800-933-8335 (Option 4)
Be careful as you are using the high pressure spray gun. Always follow the instructions and observe the
specified pressures. NEVER operate the pressure regulators to be over the specified values.
e.g. DO NOT try to blow out the wand or tip clogging by high-pressure air. It may result in splashing out
wax or breaking the wand or hose, and the scattered broken parts may cause serious injuries.
Make sure to check for leakage or breakage before each use. If any problems are found, stop using the
system immediately and please contact the following:
Bosch Technical Assistance Line - 1-800-933-8335 (Option 4)
DO NOT disassemble the parts other than the short wand or the long wand.
2. PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING WAX
Attention should be paid as the wax is very slippery.
Wipe off the wax on the floor and shoes promptly to not slip and fall.
Perform work in a well-ventilated area.
Always work with clean tools and hands.
3. PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING APPLICATION SYSTEM
Attention should be paid to NOT get caught as the application hose is long and hard.
DO NOT bend or modify hoses or piping.
Pay attention to the position of the system.
4. KEEP YOUR WORK SPACE ORGANIZED
DO NOT place removed parts or unused items such as wands on the floor.
5. CONTACT INFORMATION FOR TROUBLESHOOTING
For any issues with the Spray Wax/Cleaning equipment contact your FTS for assistance. If your FTS is not
available, contact the Bosch Technical Assistance Line - 1-800-933-8335 (Option 4) for assistance.

VEHICLE PREPARATION
1.

LIFT UP THE VEHICLE
Decide the center of gravity and support positions according
to the repair manual on TIS.
NOTE:
Observe the instructions of the lift manual.
When using a swing arm with a plate, set the position
of the plate to the rear (set by extending the arm).
Avoid the application hole.

2.

REMOVE THE FRONT SUSPENSION MEMBER BRACKET
(IF EQUIPPED)
Remove the front suspension member bracket.

DRILL HOLE FOR FRAME RAIL SEAL
1.

DRILL HOLE FOR FRAME RAIL SEAL
NOTE:
You may not have to drill a hole as some models will
already have a threaded hole for the bolt. Inspect for a
threaded hole before you begin the next steps.
Using Template A and B in the appendix, locate the location
on both outer frame side rails.
• Print the Template
• Cut the template out
• Align the template with the datum hole
• Mark location of hole on outer frame side rail
Use a center pin punch to create a dimple for the drill bit so
it will not wander during drilling.
Using the 90o drill adapter provided and the stepper bit, drill
a 9mm (3/8”) hole in the outer frame side rail as shown.
Repeat procedure for opposite side frame rail.
