New 4R has strange noise in front end

I had a 2011 4R that I purchased new in 2011, vehicle developed a groaning noise in front end only in 2WD, soon as I shifted to 4 hi noise would go away. I fought with Toyota dealer for months over this, they replaced a wheel bearing, rotated tires, even put wireless microphones on each wheel to isolate noise. They tried to tell me there was nothing wrong with vehicle. Toyota finally brought district tech into dealer and he found the problem right away. Turned out that needle bearings in front end where totally destroyed, so bad that shaft actually was wearing into the casting, once dealer replaced front axle assembly noise was gone for good.
So now here I am in 2020 with a new 4R TRD ORP with 1500 miles on the odometer and I hear the same noise ! What the hell is going on ? Anyone else experience this issue. I know there is a TSB for this but you would think after all this time Toyota would have fixed this for good. Do they all do this ? Here is the TSB#....TSB T-SB-0026-15.
