So I was changing my oil last night and its been 5k miles or so since I looked under the hood and noticed this nice dent in the air intake pipe.. is that normal? I'm usually pretty observant and just don't remember it being that way. I've never climbed into my engine bay nor has anyone else so im baffled as to how it got that way if its not supposed to be there.

 

Yes

 

They are made that way eg:

 

That “dent” accommodates the second coolant reservoir used on the hybrid model. Same part used on both ICE only and hybrid models

 

Mine is also that way, 2025 under 1k miles. Was about to call the dealer. Thanks.
