Driver Seat Clunk

[oreobbq]

Is this a big back issue? Lol kidding. Dumb question, it’s not the seat back rubbing on that silver brace bar right? My passengers like to recline the seat back like they’re in a lounge chair by the pool.

I recently purchased a 2026 Supra. I noticed that when getting into the car, the seat makes a clunk sound. If I raise my butt, and sit back down it makes the noise again. Has anyone had this issue?

My 23 has done this occasionally since it was new. It doesn't bother me enough to take it to a dealer for warranty replacement. I'm more concerned about the upholstery not being installed perfectly afterwards, so it's a write-off for me

The clunk is usually caused by a loose seat track bolt, a shifting seat frame weldment, or a faulty height adjustment mechanism.
Take it straight to the dealership. Since it is a brand-new 2026 model, this will be fully covered under your factory warranty. Let them duplicate the sound and torque down the seat frame bolts or replace the track assembly.

I checked the bolts, everything is tight. The seat does not move back and forth. It only makes a clunk when sitting. But once seated, no noise. I haven't had the noise come back, maybe I had to "break it in" since it is new.

190lb, 5'9 on a good day. No, the seat is not touching the brace. I sat in the passenger seat as well, and no noise, just the driver side.

Reason why I created this tbh. Wanted to see if others had any success with a replacement. If not, not worth having the dealership causing more issues.

Just want to give an update, it has been a month now, and I have not had the clunking noise come back.

Not exactly relevant but.. I got this weird error today while at the dealership after a service. Nobody there knew what to do as the Supra techs had gone for the day so I drove the car home with the error. After a few attempts, the calibration from the manual seems to have made the problem go away. Weird.

Just by way of an update on my issue.. after calibrating it as per the manual a few times, the error went away. 🫡
