Dash rattle on my '12

There's a very annoying rattle in the middle of the dash...if I tap the dash it rattles and over every bump. Does warranty cover this by any chance? I really don't feel like tearing into the dash...especially since it only has 6k miles on it.

 

Warranty

 

Mine has it too... I just hate carrying stuff to the dealer

 

There is a TSB for that.

Get off the Internet and get to a dealer, it's called Warranty Repair.

 

Repped

Thanks guys!

 

What TSB is that? I have the same rattle and would like to go in with a little ammunition. My dealer has already denied me twice for things that they say they "can't replicate"

 

I have the same rattle on my '12, it started happening around 15k miles

 

Is there a TSB? I started a thread on this http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/264189-cabin-rattles.html Took mine to the dealer and they acted like they were doing me a favor to have them check it out.

I had the same thing (my truck has less than 1k miles) and decided to dig into it myself. I saw a bunch of threads about it and my noise was coming from the air bag surround on the passenger side dash. I had a friend drive in my neighborhood and I felt inside the dash until I found the culprit. Added a sponge and I haven't heard it since. Good thing too bc it was driving me nuts

I've been searching and can't find a TSB...anyone have a link?

Mine is coming from somewhere directly above the headunit, on top of the dash.

 

same spot as mine.

 

I have the same thing they act like they don't even want to attempt to find it... I work out of town and can't set appointments because I don't know where I'm going till that day... Screws me on warranty work

 

One of you guys need to login to TIS and take a look around. Last time I was in was last year and I saw: T-SB-0087-10-Instrument Panel Rattle Near Glove Box. However, it was not updated to include 2011-2012, afected area was to the right of the head unit. Clearly based on how many people are reporting this problem there is one.

There was another dash rattle titled: T-SB-0106-10-Instrument Panel Rattle Below Glove Box. that was for 2005-2009 trucks...

The more people complain and not let the dealer / factory off the hook the more apt you are to receive a factory approved solution.

I have a 2009, and despite 100's of miles of tooth rattling wash-boarded roads the dash in my truck is holding up! I do need to check some bolts though...
