Toyota Issues Recall for More than 220,000 Vehicles: See Model Affected
Dealers will update software or replace seat backs free of charge, and owner letters are expected to be mailed Dec. 7, NHTSA said.
- On Tuesday, Toyota announced a recall of 228,367 Toyota Sienna Hybrid vehicles following a report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration addressing potential failures of second-row seat backs to remain secured during frontal crashes.
- NHTSA reported that in certain frontal crashes, the force could disengage the second-row seat backs from their locked positions, failing to properly restrain occupants and increasing injury risk.
- Dealers will update the supplemental restraint system electronic control unit software or replace second-row seat backs, depending on vehicle configuration, for certain 2022-2026 Toyota Sienna Hybrid vehicles.
- For vehicles equipped with the "Mobility as a Service" package, dealers will replace the two second-row seat backs free of charge rather than applying the software update.
- Owner notification letters regarding the recall are expected to be mailed Dec. 7, informing affected customers about the necessary service procedures and repair availability.
