Official summary

TSB: Some 2014 ? 2019 model year 4Runner vehicles may exhibit a whine or groan noise from the rear of the vehicle. This condition may occur while driving around 40 ? 60 mph at a consistent speed, slight acceleration, or slight deceleration. This condition may be caused by rear differential vibration transferring through the chassis and body. Follow the Repair Procedure in this bulletin to improve 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.
