2014 S plus water pump

[Hashimov]

hey folks. My car had a bad water pump at 38.000 miles. I went to local toyota dealer and they said it's factory deffect and they replaced immediately. How that is possible? Did this happen to anyone?

I would just be excited they replaced it (assuming for free?)

Yes they replaced it for free. It's under warranty

Factory defect could have been something to do with a weep hole, machining of the pump itself, etc. No telling.

Really good they fixed it for you hassle-free though. Especially with it being outside of the 36k basic warranty.

It's under powertrain warranty up to 60.000 miles

In today's world I wouldn't be surprised if a car manufacturer deemed the water pump to be a maintenance item that is not covered under the powertrain warranty. LOL
