Every documented safety related OEM issue HAS to legally be reported to NHTSA. Has to, though is the key. Toyota never reported the Tacoma issue only until the Tundras were investigated.
Dude, now your just fucking babbling.

If Toyota never reported the Tacoma issue, how could they have contacted me without the Government notification you just said they have to have? Seems to be a bit of a contradiction, don't you think?

What they did do, was send me a letter explaining the possibility of a problem, along with an extension on the truck's warranty, and an offer to inspect it. After the inspection, they gave me a big fat check.

Is this was the result of realizing they might have the same problems with the Tacoma, as they did with the Tundra, then good on them for being pro-active.

Again, for the eleventy-billionth time, no recall. Zip, nada, bumpkiss, zero.

So either show me the recall, or for the love of fucking God, STFU already.

You're just pissed that GM, or Saturn or Mitsubishi, or any of the other shit box makers you've worked for, never had the sense to do what Toyota did for me: The right thing.
