What 2016–2023 Tacoma owners report about the engine and engine cooling

Owners have filed 20 complaints with NHTSA, the US federal vehicle-safety regulator, that mention the radiator, coolant leaks or overheating on the 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma, and 4 filed under its engine and engine cooling. Those 20, by model year, as of September 18, 2026:

• 2016 Tacoma: 10 complaints
• 2017 Tacoma: 3 complaints
• 2018 Tacoma: none
• 2019 Tacoma: 2 complaints
• 2020 Tacoma: none
• 2021 Tacoma: 4 complaints
• 2022 Tacoma: none
• 2023 Tacoma: 1 complaint

NHTSA publishes complaints as owners wrote them and does not verify them, so read them as a pattern rather than a diagnosis.

A 2021 Tacoma owner, NHTSA complaint 11740269: "The plastic coolant crossover valve or pipe failed at 66,000 miles and 5 years of usage. This led to the radiator cracking. After researching online, I read about thousands of Tacoma 3rd generation users with the same issue. Also, the same issue was recalled for several other models of Toyotas but not the Tacoma."

A 2023 Tacoma owner, NHTSA complaint 11662931: "This vehicle thermostat and sensor system are faulty! My sensor started lighting up within a year and half after purchasing. Engine was not overheating at first, they said it will eventually happen and it did; all dealers said to replace but I was out of 360000 miles due to commute to Seattle."

Recalls that cover the radiator cooling pack on the 2016–2023 Tacoma

As of September 18, 2026, NHTSA lists no recall on the 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma whose defect is in the radiator cooling pack. If your car has a warning light or a symptom that a recall could explain, check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls anyway — it takes a minute.

Which radiator cooling pack a 2016–2023 Tacoma takes

Radiators differ by engine, by transmission, since an automatic's cooler often runs through the radiator, and by towing package. The 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma came with several powertrains, among them 2.7L I4 Automatic RWD and 3.5L V6 Automatic 4WD. That is why we ask for the VIN, or the year, engine and trim, and confirm the part against it before you pay rather than after it arrives.
