Default Toyota settles for $3.4B for rusty frames - mean anything for the GX?

November 12, 2016 — Toyota Tacoma rusted frames will cost the automaker about $3.4 billion after Toyota agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit that alleges Tacoma frames rust and cause serious safety hazards on the roads.

The Toyota Tacoma frame rust lawsuit includes 2005-2010 Tacoma, 2007-2008 Tundra and 2005-2008 Sequoia trucks at risk of corrosion that eats away at the frames.

I wonder if this means anything for the many rust issues with the GX.

I don't think so. This looks like it's only for the Toyota's made in US. The GX doesn't have rust issues, as far as I know.
