The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating another possible recall of a Toyota product, the Tundra pickup truck.

According to Automotive News, NHTSA has received nearly 300 complaints of rusting frames on 2000 and 2001 Tundras and has asked Toyota to submit data regarding the problem. Although a Toyota spokesman characterized the problem as involving only a cross member that supports the spare tire, complaints received by NHTSA include corrosion of the entire frame as well as brake line components.

The news comes on the heals of a similar recall of the company’s Tacoma pickups last year and complaints of sticking accelerator pedals on certain Toyota and Lexus passenger cars which is currently under investigation.
