Wrong.
Dana Corp made the frames incorrectly. As a result, Toyota won a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Dana Corp for those incorrectly made frames, AND has replaced thousands of early Tacoma, Tundra, and Sequoia frames, or bought the trucks back at well over blue book.
Not wrong, look it up.
They did get sued and have a recall for the older trucks (previous gen Tacomas for example). The newer ones not so much. Yes, they have replaced some, but it is on a case by case basis. Many owners have gotten the "you drove it in salt" excuse in the northeastern states. This problem has been seen on trucks up to model year 2015 with 40k miles.
