Toyota Sienna Recall 15V240: Roof Trim Panel May Detach During Side Airbag Deployment

NHTSA campaign 15V240, reported April 22, 2015, 387 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Some 2015 Toyota Sienna vehicles built between January and April 2015 may have had non-Toyota overhead entertainment accessories installed by Gulf States Toyota, Inc.

If that clip was damaged during the installation, the trim panel could detach if a side curtain airbag deploys and strike an occupant, increasing the risk of injury.

Gulf States Toyota will notify affected owners. Authorized dealers will replace the trim panel securing clip at no cost to you. If you have questions, you can contact Gulf States Toyota customer service at 1-800-444-1074, referencing recall number 15R1.
