Front Passenger Seat Rattle

[Mal]

any updates on your service ticket? I just noticed this and it’s literally in the exact same location.

I haven't gone in yet.

Following the advice of @SubpartSavvy, above, I fully reclined the passenger seat, then went fully in the other direction (or maybe I did the order the other way). That helped a lot, and it stopped rattling for a couple weeks. Long enough for me to cancel the service appointment, anyway.

I haven't deflated the lumbar pillow yet, as my wife uses that. In any case, the rattle does seem to be caused by loose material(?) in the back of the seat. It's starting to come back, but I'll probably try to do the seat maneuver again and see if that puts enough tension on the seat cover that it stops again.

I do feel better just knowing what it is. My service center is a risky visit in that they usually take multiple visits to get things right, so I figure I'll wait until I can't stand it and I can't temporarily fix it.

This is my only complaint with the entire vehicle

Following up: I took my truck into service for a PCS issue this morning, and told the service advisor about the seat rattle. I showed him, and he nodded and said "it's the fan bracket in the seat" and said he'd take care of it. I asked, and he's had other CTs come in with the same problem.

That’s cool knowing he will take care of it. Because I have the same issue just started but I only had the truck for a week or so.

I'll post an update on what happens when I get it back. The part is delayed a week or two, looks like.

Took it in this morning for the front passenger seat rattle. Fix was.... disassembly and reassembly? Hopefully with some extra loctite or something....

thanks for the update! I will add this to the service on both my front seats.

I hope it does not happen again for you. Keep us posted.
