Normal
Thought I'd add in my experiences as for now this issue is resolved on my truck.My truck's exhaust has rattled since winter of 2021 and has progressively gotten worse over the years. It only seemed to not be an issue in BAJA mode which was fortunate because I do really like the sound of the truck.Fast forward to 2024 it started to really become noticeable so I brought the truck in for TSB 23-2341. As others have mentioned this is a hardware swap as well as a software update. Upon receiving my truck back I remote started it and heard no rattles (in normal mode) and began my drive home (live about 40 minutes from my service center). By the time I got home and put the truck into reverse I heard it rattle slightly. I then decided to give it another try in the morning when the exhaust was cold as that was when it was typically at its worst. When I remote started it the following morning the rattle was so pronounced it was almost louder than the exhaust itself. It effectively made the problem 10x worse.I brought the truck back to the dealer and they asked that I leave it overnight as it wasn't as pronounced after a 40 minute long drive and had warmed up. I had to go back home with the truck that day and come back again to drop it off as I was needing to have the truck on me for a few days coming up. After bringing it back they decided to replace the entire exhaust assembly ($3200 covered under warranty).Their theory was that since my exhaust went so long with the original springs it wore out the space where the new springs sat causing them to rattle still - not sure how true that is, just reiterating what they told me. Happy to report the truck sounds great and is rattle free at this point. Still my favorite vehicle I've ever owned, rattles and all!
