2000 tundra Frame rot

I went to the dealer the other day to have the 90m recall done. Thats the cross member that holds the spare tire. The service manager came out and told me that the cross member was ok butnot to haul any weight in the truck because the frame has perforations. When I got under the truck and looked for myself I notice they had knocked 3 big holes in my frame. My question to all of you is "was that nessesary". Because up until that point I could have gotten it through another state inspection, now there is no chance. Dont you thinks they almost have to do something?
