Drivers often take for granted that the seat belts in our cars will just work. Unfortunately, that may not be the case for some travelers driving Toyota minivans. There is an important recall impacting Toyota Siennas that should not go unaddressed. Read on to learn all about the recall, whether or not your car is on the list, and what to do to stay safe if it is.

What Toyota Vehicles Are Being Recalled?

This recall affects Toyota Sienna minivans from 2021 through 2025. Approximately 168,000 vehicles are impacted. Owners can expect to receive letters about the recall in the mail by mid-April 2025.

Why Are These Toyotas Being Recalled?

According to Toyota’s press release about the recall, these cars are being recalled because “the bolts connecting the split 60/40 third-row seat backs to the recliner assemblies may not have been tightened to specification, causing the subject vehicles to not meet certain safety standards.”

Because of this, the seat belts in the impacted Sienna minivans may not perform as intended, which could lead to injury.

What To Do If My Toyota Is Recalled

If your vehicle is impacted by this recall, Toyota dealers will tighten the bolts on the third-row seat assemblies to proper specification at no charge to the driver.

To see if your vehicle is impacted, visit Toyota’s recalls website and enter your VIN or license plate information. If you have questions regarding the recall and how to set up an appointment for your car to be serviced, contact Toyota customer support by calling 1-800-331-4331.
