I HAVE BEEN AWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH EARLY MODEL TOYOTA TUNDRA FRAME RUST PROBLEMS AND HAVE FOLLOWED WITH INTEREST TOYOTA'S RESPONSE [NONE]HOWEVER, I FEEL OBLIGED TO INFORM YOU THAT ON FRIDAY 25TH THE GAS TANK STRAPS FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND THE GAS TANK FELL OF THE VEHICLE AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN SO THE CONSEQUENCES WERE LIMITED.
