What this recall means for you
Certain Sienna Hybrid vehicles may have third-row seat assembly bolts that were not tightened properly during manufacture. A seatback that is not fully secured may not adequately restrain the occupant in a crash, which can increase the risk of injury. The affected vehicles also do not meet federal standards covering head restraints, seating systems, and child restraint anchorages.
Toyota will have dealers tighten the seat assembly bolts at no cost to owners. Owner notification letters were mailed April 1, 2025. If you own one of these vehicles, contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 with your VIN, and check your VIN for open recalls at NHTSA.gov.
If you have a third-row seat in your Sienna Hybrid, schedule a visit with an authorized Toyota dealer as soon as you can for the free repair.
