According to Toyota themselves It’s caused by inadequate caulking on the head gasket itself. There is a revised part number head gasket that has better longevity but in order to solve the problem entirely the engine would have to be redesigned.
Pros: revised part, better longevity
Cons: inadequate caulking
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
My HG went bad around 180k, with no EGR cleaning by the previous owner. It started to consume coolant pretty quick and smoke came out of coolant tank lol
Replaced HG is a few weeks, cleaned air intake manifold and EGR. Now, I’m hoping to get many more miles from it :)
Pros: Replaced HG, cleaned EGR
Cons: consume coolant, smoke came
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
Mileage: 180000 km
The Civic has a question mark with it's L15 turbo engine and premature failing head gaskets. Same issues seen in CR-V's with that engine. Not everybody is going to experience it, but it shows up often and is definitely a design weakness in that engine.
Cons: premature failing, design weakness
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Headgaskets blew in my 4Runner, 200 miles from home, one mile from an exit, during rush hour.
Cons: Headgaskets blew
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
My 2020 Accord 1.5t has 80K miles and already had to do valve cover gasket and now head gasket is blown. Then there’s also the issue of the front radar sensor that is constantly getting stolen because some genius at Honda decided to put this $700 part in the front of the car with nothing protecting it; looks like Honda just decided to give absolutely no f*cks when building this masterpiece. Oops almost forgot, had to replace the full head unit for the radio because it just decided to stop working at 50K miles.
Cons: head gasket blown, radar sensor stolen
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Mileage: 80000 km
I did have one issue on my 2012 Sequoia, I had the dreaded leaking head gasket oil leak. Cost me a little over $2k to fix. Not common but man took me by surprise.
Cons: leaking oil, costly repair
Vehicle:
Toyota Sequoia
I have a 2010 Prius that has been a daily driver and has 425000km on it. It ran perfect with only brakes and oil changes until 390000km when the head gasket went. Mechanic said the engine wasn't powerful enough to harm itself and after the replacement it's been running great.
Pros: running great after repair
Cons: head gasket failed
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
Mileage: 390000 km
Ct200h or Prius 2zr-fxe because the headgasket will fail at 150k and you have to replace the pcv often because it gets stuck open and burns oil...
Cons: headgasket will fail
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
Mileage: 150000 km
Did have to do head gaskets in the 4runner ten or so years ago but it hasn't had any other real issues.
Cons: head gasket failure
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
