Default More than just 6 failures

If you go to NHTSA's website and look up all the complaints filed on Toyota suspension failures you will find alot more than just the 6 mentioned in the press release. I just looked up 2002 Tundra suspension failures and found 15 that were identical to my complete failures (total separation of the front wheel assembly). I didn't continue searching other model years. I assume I would find much the same, although I doubt I would find a case of both wheels coming off (like mine). I count myself fortunate in that mine came off at very slow speed. One of the reports I read describes a RF wheel coming off at 70 MPH ....YIPES! The NHTSA called me back last week wanting further details on my latest failure after I reported it a couple weeks ago. They gave me the POC for Toyota and the recall info. Nothing I didn't know already thanks to this forum.

Drive safe.
