    Bought my 2016 in December/15. I got approximately 900 miles as well and ended up with same vibration and had the needle bearing replaced as well with the new Toyota T-SB Bearing (issued to 2005-2015). It is running a bit better now so at least the wife is not talking about it anymore. Problem is that my dealer said that have to open a new 2016 case request for the same problem so they can issue a 2016 fix. They replaced my front diff on my 2nd gen 2007 last year before trading in and ran great after that. I am going to wait and see if they come up with a new bearing, but not holding my breath....again. I would go straight to the ECSG T8C5-Bushing aftermarket fix if I wasn't go to void all the warranty. Who knows...may be back to changing out the whole front diff again. Needless to say....very disappointing.
