Toyota offers buyback, extended warranty options for Tacoma trucks

Toyota Canada is extending its warranty coverage and offering to buy back certain Tacoma trucks, the automaker said Friday.

The extended warranty affects about 10,200 Tacoma trucks with the model years ranging from 1995 to 2000 for 15 years from the original sale date.

The automaker said truck frames may have sustained corrosion damage due to insufficient corrosion protection.

"If the condition is confirmed during inspection, Toyota will, at its option, repair or repurchase the vehicle," said Toyota Canada spokeswoman Amanda Ferguson in an e-mail.

Letters have been sent to the owners and consumers should contact their dealer for an inspection.
