Official summary

TSB: Some 2010 - 2015 model year 4Runner vehicles may exhibit a squeak noise coming from the second row seats when driving over uneven terrain. The bracket for the inside hinge of the 60% second row seat may rub the seat frame. Follow the procedure outlined below to address this condition.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
