Ok so second attempt with TSB got it back yesterday no squeal this morning. First time since I got it in March lol. I know it will probably come back but the first go around with the tsb it still made noise. They think the back plating on the first set was warped? I dunno let’s see what happens now
I am not convinced yet. So no noise yesterday all day strangest thing. We had a good rainstorm last night super humid this morning. I back out and it was a quick 2 second maybe less light squeal. Like if mine sounded like this since March I wouldn’t even be complaining. Anyhow I probably hear it louder tomorrow morning.
First time I heard the squeal was backing out of the driveway after washing. Plan on doing the TSB when I take it in for the first oil change - no reason to rush.

This is honestly insane. I actually think the noise is worse than before the TSB.
Literally wtf.

Make a video showing direction of Travel and make a complaint with the service manager.

So it appears that the TSB does not permanently fix the issue. Does anyone know how to self-fix?
How widespread is this issue and how soon after delivery did it start for others? I'm supposed to pickup my 4Runner on Tuesday morning and honestly I'm having some pause with this issue. I have zero desire to be dealing with a squeal that the prescribed fix doesn't actually fix.
it’s mixed as far as how severe and who gets it. Mine is horrible. It’s so loud I don’t even bother driving it in the morning. The tsb gave me like a day of silence and then a light squeal (which I would have gladely lived with) and then just now sounds like poo again.
the tsb doesn’t fix it. It’s almost has if Toyota didn’t do any testing before hand and just throw some parts at it hoping we would all go away. I mean clearly all of us who have the noise it’s come back fairly quickly so it’s not like they couldn’t test it before hand. Instead we are the test dummies and we get to waste our time going back and forth to the dealership. Mine has been to the dealer ship 5 times since March about this issue and two of those times were overnight.
This is how it sounded this morning 
. It started two weeks ago as very low noise, but today it went back to the way it was before July 14 when they did some work (not the TSB)

So, I had the TSB completed and the following morning the sound returned.
The dealer said yup, this is what we were afraid of. So they took it in and did the old dirty Trick.
Now I have no issues at all. The TSB will not resolve the issue, however shave the side edge of the pads and you got a solution that works,
This has been done to the tundra, tacoma, and many other models they said.
