Toyota RAV4 2006: Water pump replacement

...

While my 2006 Toyota RAV4 was in for service last week I asked the dealer to check for a leak that was obviously coming from the cooling system due to the color of the coolant. It was found to be the water pump. My car has only done 20,000 km and I was told this should not happen at such a low mileage. Do you think I have reason to take this matter further with Toyota?

If it was under warranty it would most certainly be covered, but I assume your warranty has run out. Even so there is no good reason for the water pump to need replacing after 20,000 km, except for a faulty part, so I would suggest you take it up with Toyota. At the very least they should pay for the replacement part.
