So, what’s the problem, exactly? Well, in some cases, the 2.5-litre four-cylinder’s block may be porous. As a result, it could crack and cause internal or external coolant leaks. The danger is engine overheating or internal damage that could lead to a fire or an engine failure. For non-hybrid vehicles, this could also result in a sudden loss of engine power while driving.
Toyota explains that this problem may lead to engine noise or smoke, cause warning lights to turn on and/or cause an audible chime to sound before an engine failure.
