Water Pump

A dealer won't replace a water pump "just because". It should only be replaced if it's actively leaking, or shows signs that it was leaking (more than just seepage) significantly in the past.
Preemptively replacing a part without defect is against warranty policy, there are no bulletins that exist stating there is a problem with IS water pumps, and from what I've seen they fail no more regularly than any other water pump from Toyota/Lexus.

No they won't, or at least, they shouldn't.

There are obviously reasons to replace a water pump. My point is that warranty should not be replacing the water pump "just because" under warranty. It is against policy.
It doesn't mean it doesn't happen, it just means people shouldn't expect it. I don't like hearing people get upset because a dealer didn't do something they shouldn't have done. Just trying to manage expectations, haha.
