Toyota Tundra Forum

I checked mine earlier. All the oak pollen (and rain) had left a couple of marks that might look like a little rust, but it wiped right off.

I hope the service writer wrote down that they NEED to replace those items. Hope the call goes smooth for you.

I am certain I read somewhere (maybe on here?) that Yoda admitted that a supplier of some of their chrome parts had "issues" with the chrome plating process such that there were rust issues on some trucks. I also recall that Yoda said it was replacing such parts for affected owners without any hassle. The again, maybe this is wishful thinking on my part!!?? Regardless trinibob (and the other members with rust issues), I hope Yoda takes care of you guys without any hassles!

New Toyota Tundra Problem - Bumper and Lug Nut Rust | tundraheadquarters.com

I heard SET has a recall on the nuts they used on port BBS and Enkei wheels. Seems they were using nuts that were prone to failure that were supposed to be pulled from the shelves and never used. They would sheer right off the lugs. Be glad you didn't get those. They are mailing out recalls right now.
