I don't know... Didn't think of that.. I will ask when I pick it up. If the noise comes back, I plan on going back for a fix although it's a pain in the butt. Meanwhile I am cruising in a Tundra TRD off-road loaner. It's pretty nice!

I just got my truck back today. After like 3 days of leaving it at the service shop. I haven't noticed the noise yet because I just got it (and the noise happens mostly in the morning) and hopefully it stays that way.
The dealer said that they used the same exact parts but just replaced them with new. They can't do anything else about it if the noise returns, except for waiting for Toyota to issue a technical bulletin with improved parts. That's what I heard about my repair.
Not very happy about new truck (>300mi) having to go through this so soon.

Wish you luck. I totally understand. It's frustrated to have to go thru this with a new truck, no matter how they put it. Please keep us updated. There was a TSB for the Lexus GX 550 with the same problem but not sure if that was an updated part.I just got my truck back today. After like 3 days of leaving it at the service shop.

It’s so fucking embarrassing. I just drive 30 mins 3pm to a clients house stayed for 2 hours and backup and squealing like a dying animal. Dealer looked and said they can’t do anything but said nothing is under safety specs so just wait

As I feared, Toyota continues to lose the reliability reputation. When you add cheapened vehicles and increased cost, its not going to end well.
