Seat Belt Rattle TSB?
I know some members have expressed a rattle/click from the seat belt pillar. Is there a TSB for it?

I don't think so, mines rattle too on the passenger side. =(

Check to make sure the passenger seat belt is not twisted when retracted, because the metal latch can rattle against the pillar.

ya, that drives me crazy every time it happens. Lexus should have used some softer material at that area around the pillar.

Definitely will rattle if twisted. Happens often after having passenger exit front seat.

Same here. It's pretty annoying but the seat is easily reachable to rotate the latch away from the pillar.

Never experienced this on the German competitors... really surprising that Lexus hasn't thought this through better.

Quick fix - i picked up some thin black felt with adhesive backing (craft stores have it). Cut a 4 inch square piece and installed on the passenger pillar where the buckle hits. Rattles FIXED and almost invisible!

Mine seems to rattle even when it's not twisted. I'm latching it currently.

I had this happen ALL THE TIME on my recent 5 series (2011 and 2014).
