Toyota Coolant Bypass Valve Recall 2021

Some 2018 - 2021 model year Toyota vehicles equipped with an A25A-FKS, A25A-FXS, or M20A-FKS engine may exhibit a condition in which an "Engine Maintenance Required" message is displayed in the Multi-Information Display (MID). Additionally, the vehicle will exhibit DTC(s) P268111 (Engine Coolant Bypass Valve Circuit Short to Ground) and/or P268115 (Engine Coolant Bypass Valve Circuit. Coolant smell, weak A/C, dash filled with warning lights, yet no recall.

Toyota's CSP 24TE04 targets a hidden flaw: a leaking coolant bypass valve that shorts its own circuit and quietly nudges the engine toward overheating. The fix is covered, but only if your RAV4 was built before February 2021, and you know how to claim it.

The plaintiff dismissed voluntarily and Toyota NEVER responded to the complaint. As we now know on Dec.5, 2024 Toyota issued the Customer Support Program 24TE04 for a free repair of the coolant bypass valve on specified RAV4s made before Feb of 2021.

The Barrientos v. Toyota class action was dismissed on 8. The coolant bypass valve defect in the 2019-2023 Toyota RAV4 and Corolla models highlights a serious issue within Toyota's quality control processes.

As the legal proceedings continue, affected owners are encouraged to stay informed and consider their options for potential compensation or repair. A Toyota class action lawsuit alleges Toyota RAV4 and Toyota Corolla coolant bypass valve recall is needed because the coolant bypass valves crack and prematurely fail. A class action lawsuit alleges 2019.

The bypass valve can malfunction and get stuck, either open or closed, causing the RAV4 to display the dreaded "Engine Maintenance Required" (which is different than the 'Maintenance Required' light). The valve can also develop cracks, allowing coolant to contaminate the electrical connections, causing it to fail. By Sepehr DaghighianPartnerTwo plaintiffs filed a class.

In our continuing efforts to ensure the best in customer satisfaction, Toyota is announcing a Customer Support Program to provide coverage for Flow Shut-off Valve Coolant Leak on multiple Model & Model Year Toyota Vehicles.
