Toyota Trucks Recalled

More than a hundred-thousand Toyota trucks are being recalled by the automaker.

The recall affects the Toyota Tundra, model years 2000 through 2003, and it specifically targets trucks operated in 20 cold-weather states and the District of Columbia.

According to Toyota, the high use of road salt in those regions can lead to excessive corrosion on the car's frame, which could in turn cause the spare tire to separate and fall onto the road.

Owners will receive notices to bring their trucks in for an inspection. Until then, government regulators say owners of the Tundras should remove any spare tires that are mounted under the frame.
