Your Tundra's frame has developed a hole (perforation) on the front passenger side near the bottom where the frame is welded, close to the steering rack. The hole is about 7 inches long by 3 inches wide, and your dealer deemed the vehicle unsafe to operate. While earlier Tundra models had frames replaced under warranty, Toyota has not issued a recall or assistance program for 2009 models. Fixing this frame damage requires replacement parts and labor estimated at over $10,000.
