Toyota Sienna Recall Details

Vehicles recalled: 2021-2025 Toyota Sienna minivans

The problem: The bolts that connect the 60/40 folding third-row seatbacks to their recliner assembly may not have been tightened to their proper specification. (The recliner assembly is used in folding and adjusting the third-row seats.) As a result, third-row occupants may have an increased risk of injury.

The fix: Toyota dealerships will tighten the bolts free of charge.

NHTSA campaign number: 25V086

How to contact the manufacturer: Owners can call Toyota at 800-331-4331.
