Canada tsb for heater fan ticking

Part of the problem is the part is made by Delphi....aka GM. Toyota needs to start using more parts by Denso.

 

Well,took my truck in,an hour later they call me and say they ordered the wrong part. Needed part is what others have reported on some sites.Part is # 87103-04041,motor,blower unit. Cost is $151.03! [TSB3394.] Goes back in next tues,will post my experience then!

 

Well just to update,still waiting,as part is back ordered. What a lame dealer!! Or maybe it is Toyota itself,dont know.

 

Hey man Im still waiting too here in Manitoba!!! Brought my truck in on Dec 16th and I just called them today to follow up and they said motors are on backorder!!! I have a feeling it could be a while before I get my new one. But they ordered the motor and tick click sound insulation according to my invoice. Same part number as you listed earlier.

 

This sounds like a Toyota issue then,rather than the dealer.Go figure,mine just keeps getting louder.Thanks for your input.

 

Dealer called today,goin in tomorrow{Wed.]

 

I Can't take it anymore!!! Called to-day to book a service oil/Plugs,
when I just snapped and told them they better order another Heater
fan chirp chirp click tick...........There's got to be some solution to this
headache ! However if the last 3 GM products I owned only had this problem I wouldn't own a toyota now.

 

Mine is fixed,seems good for now.just hope this is permanent.I know what you mean by noises,mine just kept getting worse!!

 

my third blower motor is on back order. my truck only has 10000 kms. the service manager finally said the next one will be of a new design that Toyota has released to fix this permanently.

 

Hmm!! Hoping mine is this new version,part# is 87103-040141. Could you post your number when you finally get it done? Thanks

 

I'm now waiting on a new Blower fan, #2 ,it's on back order.I'm told it
will be a new part number, so it should make a world of difference. I also
had the rear Bilstein shocks replaced as they were bottoming out.

 

Heres hoping it works,please post the number if you dont mind.I have read so many posts on this and multiple replacements,so would be nice if they actually have supplied one that does last!! TY

 

Just got mine replaced last week here in Canada with the new motor and sound insulation. Cant hear a thing anymore and it even seems quieter then when I first got my truck. Hopefully it stays quiet but well have to wait and see...

 

Will Toyota do this fix if the warranty has expired?
Does anyone have the number of the TSB for this?
thanks

 

anyone?

 

1st fan whined and ticed, 17000km, now the 2nd is starting

 

if you do a search I read a thread on how to fix the tic in the heater fan. it's a bearing in the motor a little grease and all's quiet. I have a 2011 with 2550 kms and I have noticed it from almost day one it is a design flaw in the motor or poor workmenship.

 

My 2011 has been doing it since 700km. I'll have them figure it out when it goes in for its first service.

 

The newest part number is 4042....4041 according to the shop guy is the one surrounded by foam? He said it basically just masks the noise. From another post on the U.S forum?

 

Update guys, been over 3 months and haven't gotten the call that my parts have arrived and my friend at the dealer said its mainly foam surround to mask the noise
