2025 Land Cruiser bought 7 months ago constant rattling and tapping noise near passenger rear near pillar b and c. Brought to the dealer for corrective action to identify, address and to resolve the problem due to annoying ticking, rattling and tapping noise while travelling on a rough road. According to a service adviser their mechanics from dealer dismantled panels and head liners to pinpoint noise and find out that, the noises is located near pillar c and pillar b. As recommendation by the service adviser the Land Cruiser needed to be bring to a car body shop to reweld parts from both pilar b and c that was creating the rattling noise. I believe the 2025 Land Cruiser have a manufacturer welding defects that creating the rattling and tapping noise which is needed to be thoroughly investigated. Pillars a, b, c, and d on cars which have welding defects can compromise the safety of the vehicles and its occupants. 1. It weakens the structure and reduce crashworthiness. 2. Failure of welded components will reduce strength and load bearing. 3. Risk of cabin collapse. 4. It impact on safety features this areas is where airbags and safety belts been supported. 5. Welded defects will increase risk of accidents and injury.
