“Engine maintenance required - Visit Dealer” warning came on. Vehicle was diagnosed with needing a new coolant bypass valve. Researching online, and in Toyota groups, this is a known and widespread issue. The dealer stated they have had many of these repairs come in, yet Toyota has not issued a recall or TSB. This is a repair costing between $500-$1000. That's a healthy sum of money to be spending on a fairly new car.

My Engine maintenance notification came on this week and I took my car for diagnosis. It was determined that it is my the coolant bypass valve was the issue and this seems to be an issue for RAV4s. I researched Recalls for this issue and found a recall code 20TA04 for 2019 - 2020 RAV4 Toyota .I currently drive a 2019 RAV4 but this recall doesn't show under my VIN # But I am having the same issue. Its frustrating when this is a known issue that the dealership is aware of but wants charge large sums of money to fix a problem that is not normal wear and tear. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2020/RCMN-20V064-1370.pdf

Vehicle had been in for routine maintenance 6 weeks prior. Around 46k miles, the check engine light came on requiring me to bring it back to the Toyota dealer. I wasn't able to bring it to the dealer for about 6 days after it came on due to appointment availabilitly. Once I brought it in, they told me the coolant bypass valve had a circuit short and needed to be replaced. This part was replaced and is unable to be inspected. This is a safety issue especially during the summer as this short could cause the engine to overheat.
