Since AMJ is posting about it, and in a positive light, their diabolical plan has failed. Maybe if American manufacturers took notes on Toyota's evil scheme of doing what is necessary to keep customers happy they would be in better shape.
For something like AMJ's situation I think extending the warranty is the better option. They could issue a recall, I bring the truck in, and they find no problem at that time. Two years later can I bring it back in for the same recall? How about another 2 years after that? How long is that recall going to protect me, and how often can I use it, for a condition that can develop years after the recall is issued?
With a 15 year warranty I can keep an eye on the frame. If I see something that concerns me I bring it in to Toyota. If there is a problem they fix it. If there isn't I go on my way, continue to keep an eye on the frame, and if I again see something that concerns me I bring it back in again. The 15 year time period doesn't bother me personally since at my usual annual mileage I would have somewhere between 250k and 300k miles on the truck.
