168,000 Toyota Sienna minivans recalled: Here's why, affected models
"The bolts connecting the split 60/40 third-row seat backs to the recliner assemblies may not have been tightened to specification," Toyota said in a release last week, "causing the subject vehicles to not meet certain safety standards.
"A seat back in this condition may not perform as intended, leading to an increased risk of injury to a seated occupant."
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 167,802 minivans are potentially affected.
The recall applies to certain 2021-2025 Toyota Sienna Hybrid vehicles in North America, Asia, and other regions and countries.
You can check to see if your vehicle is subject to any recalls — and see safety ratings, investigations and complaints about the model — by looking it up with your VIN or year and model at nhtsa.gov.
The NHTSA says owner notification letters are expected to go out on March 31, and Toyota said customers should be notified by mid-April. Toyota dealers will tighten these bolts to proper specifications free of charge.
For additional questions, customers can contact the Toyota Brand Engagement Center at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is 25TA05.
