Subject: ***UPDATE - Limited Service Campaign K0D - Certain 2011-2017 Model Year Tacoma Vehicles - Frame Corrosion Resistant
Compound Application - Dealer***
Date: December 16, 2020 at 4:06 PM
To:
In our continuing efforts to ensure the best in customer satisfaction, Toyota is launching a Limited Service Campaign
(LSC) on:
Certain 2011 - 2017 model year Tacoma Vehicles
Condition:
Toyota has received 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.
Remedy:
Any authorized Toyota dealer in the Cold Climate States (CCS)1 will first inspect the condition of the vehicle’s
frame under associated Customer Support Program (CSP) ZKA. Based upon the results and date of the
inspection, the dealership will do one of the following:
If qualifying rust perforation is not found, and the vehicle is located in a Cold Climate State, the
dealer will apply Corrosion Resistant Compound (CRC) and/or install frame plugs to key areas of
the vehicle’s frame FREE OF CHARGE to the owner under Limited Service Campaign (LSC) K0D.
If qualifying rust perforation is not found, and the vehicle is not located in a Cold Climate State, no further action is required.
If significant rust perforation is found, the dealer will replace the vehicle’s frame FREE OF CHARGE to the owner under Customer Support Program
ZKA if all conditions of the program are met.
