Dealer confirms that this is a known problem
Took the car to the stealer today and they confirmed that this is a known problem (after a call to the factory tech line), and that the solution is the replacement of the heating/AC module. The part will be in at 2pm tomorrow. Should have the truck back by 5pm. At least it's under warranty.
I've seen posts in other forums that suggest that Toyota is trying to be proactive by contacting owners in colder climates (like Alaska) with requests to "inspect their cooling systems". IMHO, though, this is a safety issue, and should warrant a general recall.
