The "Cracked Seat Panel" MEGA Thread

Nice work!

 

Just brought mine in today and new seat panel ordered. Kicker is part on national back order

 

How long did that take? IOW, did they need to take the truck back into the service bay for the mechanics to check it and all that rigamarole? Or did they just look at it and order the part? What would be nice is if they would order the part and give it to you to put on yourself. That would save a lot of time as the R&R takes only a few minutes.

 

Got mine looked at and documented when I was in for 10k service on Aug 16. They were out of stock but allegedly ordered more. Haven't heard a peep since.

 

They took my word and ordered the part.

 

First time poster. 2022 limited yrs and I just cracked the piece after owning this less then a month. I kid you not I swear the truck sounds different too almost like it reset an engine noise. Calling dealer tomorrow. Glad I’m not alone.

 

Temp fix so I don't rip skin or pants

 

Good color match! ;-)

 

Kinda wonder if this should be called the eating mega hamburgers thread lol

 

Lol just ribbing ya

 

Add me to the list of cracked seats. My 2024 had been back to the dealer now way more than my 2015.

 

Got my seat panel replaced today at no cost to me. They said the new panel is supposed to be built differently/stronger and I shouldn't have the problem again. We shall see.

 

Thats what they told me on my second panel

 

Yeah I understand and fully expect it to happen again but wasn't gonna argue the point. It's not like the service guys can do anything about it.

And here's the part number if anyone cares. 718120C242C0

 

Mine just cracked yesterday...its funny because I asked if the problem was fixed on the 24s. Mine was made in August so I guess I didn't get the improved one lol

 

Toyota should come out with color matched duct tape. Get one free roll to solve all interior bit problems

 

My truck (‘24 SR5, 7/24 build date) seems to have the “stress crease” that some others had before they break. 1,800ish miles in.

I’ve been using my running boards to make sure I don’t sit on the edge of the seat when I get in, and lightly sitting in the middle.

But part of me thinks I should just plop my fat ass in there, let it crack, and get the replacement….

 

Exactly dont alter your behavior. If it breaks it breaks and get Toyota to get you a new one. Its their problem not yours

 

Have they fixed this in 2024 trucks?

Do they replace it with a "better" quality or is it the same seat?

 

Concord CA Toyota dealership replaced mine three times

 

I just post a few up that I have a August 24 ....the answer is nope lol

 

My repair job to glue up the broken clips on mine is holding up OK. But now that the panel is solidly mounted the rest of it is cracking. LOL. I have to say this is the first vehicle I have ever owned where I need to be careful... or even think about being careful... about how I get out.

 

Little bit of news, my second panel cracked. Friend of mine that is also my service guy told me a recall is coming, no time frame. It will be a completely redesigned panel. Not the 2nd gen one that also breaks. No time frame no other intel, but thought I’d share. Someone I do trust.

 

I'm on my second replacement from about 6 months ago and it's already beginning to crack but the clips haven't broken yet. I sure hope there's a recall on these

 

Mine finally cracked. 18500miles. '23. I'm 5'6" 155lbs.
Walked into the service office, told the lady t cracked. She confirmed my VIN and ordered the part. Its been 11days, still hasn't arrived.

 

2023 Tundra - Driver side seat control panel cracked, again...anyone else have this problem?

 

Had mine replaced three times.
