Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.): This $3.4 billion class action directly addresses premature corrosion in 2007\u20132008 Tundras (and similar models). It claims Toyota \u201cknowingly failed to apply adequate rust protection,\u201d leading to frame perforation despite later treatments like HOF.  The settlement\u2019s \u201crecurrent perforation\u201d clause applies even after HOF.  My rusted-through fuel tank strap and holes in the rear cross member qualify.  HOF RO# XXX. Claim #XXX  My 2008 Tundra  SR5 TRD was treated with HOF in Nov 2017.  In November 2025 my mechanic told me the gas tank was falling out as the straps that hold the tank in place were completely rotted out.  And rust perforation was on the rear cross member. He instructed me to get a safety inspection at a Toyota dealership to document the rust.     Toyota of Waldorf didn\u2019t even schedule a appt, they told me to call the Brand Engagement Center and that there was no possibility of repair because Toyota had no frames.  Brand engagement refused to provide any guidance.  I scheduled an inspection at Koons Toyota of Annapolis, which it failed inspection with multiple >10mm frame holes and a rusted-through tank strap (held by bungee).  They deemed it unsafe to operate and unrepairable. They kept leaving out the information about the rust or the holes until they realized I was not leaving until they documented it properly.  I have 3 versions.  Despite ZH7 expiration, this is a post-HOF recurrence and safety hazard. I requested goodwill repurchase at 1.5x KBB (~$12k) under the settlement\u2019s intent.  The Brand Engagement Center had me call them and  [XXX] \u201d announced she was my case manager, then almost as quickly announced it was going to \u201cInternal Dept\u201d for repurchase review, that she would no longer be my case manager, and that they would get back to me in 60 days.  I said the average is 2-4 weeks, not months and that I expected a response in 3-7 days.
