I "had" an appointment scheduled for 7 AM in the morning to have the transfer case replaced. . Just literally got off the phone with the service manager. Canceled my appointment and told me that Toyota is working to resolve the issue. And they will contact me again as soon as a resolution is found.
I'll give it a week or maybe two. In the mean time, I'm going to research "other" alternatives.

Sounds like Toyota finally realized that replacing the transfer case with the same exact part number isn't helping. Hopefully this means they are finally in the process of updating the transfer case.
Okay, fair enough, I suppose, but did they give you any recommendations? I assume you had the appt because you’re experiencing the “groaning” noise others have reported...so if they’re not fixing it, did they say it’s safe to drive in the state it’s in?

No. No information what so ever. They pretty much said that even they didn't know what will be next. Almost felt like a brush-off. So - I took the initiative to call Toyota Customer Service. I didn't get to speak to a Rep today. Waiting on a return call. But I have officially logged a complaint and have a case number. Guess I'm just waiting to see what happens next.
they were going to replace mine tomorrow. But I told what you guys were saying here. The service manager at my dealership talked to the field engineer and confirmed that the new part they had for me was not the countermeasured new part. So, they cancelled my appointment. Apparently, it is going to be another couple of months before they come out with the correct part.
First ever for Toyota, but others have been doing that already. Not sure why Toyota didn’t design it properly and having issues with such low mileage is strange.
Posted yesterday. (Attached) Doesn't appear to mention the TRD. My Limited is new but I haven't noticed anything yet. It says the affected assembly plants were TMMC-C, TMMC-W, Takaoka, Shokki#1 and #2. Is this the vehicle assembly plant? My window sticker says assembly point was Obu, Aichi...
