Toyota Sienna Recall 15V236: Loose roof trim could strike occupants in a side airbag crash

NHTSA campaign 15V236, reported April 21, 2015, 262 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2015 Toyota Sienna vehicles built between September 2014 and April 2015 may have been fitted with overhead entertainment equipment installed by an outside dealer distributor. During reassembly, a trim panel securing clip may have been reused rather than replaced. If that clip was damaged during the installation, the trim panel could come loose when a side curtain airbag deploys.

A detached trim panel could strike a vehicle occupant, which raises the risk of injury in a crash.

If your vehicle is affected, contact Southeast Toyota Distributors customer service at 1-866-405-4226 (recall number SET15B). The trim panel securing clip will be replaced free of charge at an authorized dealer. You can also check your VIN for open recalls to confirm whether your vehicle is included.
