An abnormal buzz or groan noise from that case can occur with Normal drive mode selected during disconnect/connect timing of the AWD system. This condition typically occurs between 20 and 30 mph when accelerating from a stop, and/or between 20 and 13 mph on deceleration after driving the vehicle for 15 minutes or longer. Although the front transfer case electro-magnetic clutch is covered by Toyota?s New Vehicle Limited Warranty for 5 years or 60,000 miles (whichever comes first), we at Toyota care about the customers? ownership experience. Toyota is providing coverage for repairs related to abnormal buzz/groan noise from the front transfer case.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10240068-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10240068-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10240068","components":[{"id":"powertrain","name":"Transmission and driveline","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"TOYOTA","model":"RAV4","year_from":2019,"year_to":2020,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2019_toyota_rav4","2020_toyota_rav4"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
