Your 2022 4Runner developed an oil leak caused by a crack in the plastic oil filter housing, which a technician identified as a known issue on multiple Toyota vehicles. The leak was fixed by replacing the plastic housing with an aluminum one, and the problem stopped. You're concerned that the original plastic housing may fail prematurely on other vehicles and could lead to engine damage or safety issues. A fix involves replacing the faulty plastic oil filter housing with a more durable aluminum version.
