Took my 2017 in for warranty work. Guess there is an issue with the Rear Water Bypass Joint leaking Antifreeze. It's under the intake manifold rear passenger side of engine and a pain to get at. Anyone else have this issue? I've been told its popping up a lot.

Just want to keep everyone informed.. Toyota knows of this issue... there is no TSB yet but I'm sure it will happen at some point just keep an eye on your coolant level and if you see it dropping look for leaks before it's to late. It's about a 14hr job I was told according to Toyota. The joint is plastic and there have been defects from factory.

Mine just failed. The dealer quoted me $2000 to fix. mostly labor. They are checking with Toyota as we speak to help out. Also, my truck just hit 50k miles.

That sucks sorry to hear it.. also if you go under your truck from the passenger side and with a flashlight look up at the back right of the manifold .. if yours is leaking just follow the pink drips filled by a pinkish white powder from it drying. Goodluck

My 2017 Tacoma Sport with just over 30,000 miles has the same issue. The dealership wants to charge $850 to repair. The seems like a lot and reading the comments it's all labor. Is this a known issue? Asking because my extended warranty does not cover it.

Curious why the extended warranty company is denying it?
