Received the message on my 2019 Toyota Rav 4: ENGINE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED. VISIT YOUR DEALER. Diagnostic: Coolant Bypass Valve REPLACEMENT needed. Factory warranty does not cover. After researching this issue I am shocked that there has not been a recall placed for this, there are hundreds of threads with people experiencing this same issue with their Toyota RAV4. This is over a $800 repair that should be covered by the manufacturer as it is an obvious equipment malfunction due to the manufacture with the overwhelming number of others having this same issue.
"maintenance required visit your dealer" message came on at ~84k miles, continued to come on intermittently thereafter despite resetting maintenance reminder. Checked error codes and discovered issue was a faulty coolant bypass valve.

Despite this, Toyota has not issued any TSBs, or offered to compensate customers for replacement of this obviously defective part.
