NHTSA Campaign: 14V273000
Component: TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2004-2011 Sienna vehicles originally sold in, or currently registered in, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia. The affected vehicles have a spare tire carrier assembly mounted under the vehicle whose attachment cable may corrode due to high concentrations of road salt splashing onto the spare tire carrier.
Risk: If the carrier cable is corroded due to road salt, the spare tire may separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Toyota sent owners in August 2014 an interim notification to advise owners of the recall and that dealers will perform an interim remedy to remove the spare tire and relocate it to the luggage compartment, free of charge. Owners are being mailed a second letter as parts become available and dealers will replace the spare tire carrier assembly with an improved one, free of charge. The remedy campaign is being performed in phases. The first phase of the recall began July 7, 2015. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. NOTE: 2004-2010 Siennas subject to this recall were subject to recall campaign 10V-160 initiated in 2010. Those owners are advised that they must have their vehicles remedied again under this campaign and that having the earlier recall completed did not remedy their vehicles. Additionally, model year 1998-2003 Siennas were recalled as part of safety recall 10V-160. Owners of those vehicles that have not had not the remedy performed on their vehicles, should contact their Toyota dealer to schedule a free repair.

Owner-Reported Issues (20 of 1130)
Unknown Or Other →2 issues
Your rear sliding doors frequently get stuck and won't open, even when unlocked and with child safety locks turned off. This happens in all weather conditions, and in winter the doors can freeze shut due to moisture entering the door frames. In emergencies, passengers might be unable to exit quickly, which is a serious safety concern—you've had to let passengers out from the outside or have them climb over front seats to escape.

Your Trac Control system is activating unexpectedly while driving on highways and country roads, causing it to beep three times and apply the brakes to one side of the car without warning, which pulls the vehicle and triggers the skid light on your dashboard. This happens repeatedly during normal driving with no apparent reason. The fix will likely involve diagnosing the Trac Control system's wheel speed sensors, brake lines, and electronic control module to identify why it's falsely detecting wheel slip.

Engine And Engine Cooling →1 issue
While driving at 65 mph, your oil warning light came on. You added oil at the roadside, but a mechanic later said the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle wasn't repaired or diagnosed by a dealer, and Toyota wasn't notified of the issue. The engine failure occurred at 142,000 miles.

Steering,service Brakes →1 issue
While driving on the highway, your van suddenly applies the brakes and the steering becomes unresponsive for about 10 seconds, which creates a serious safety hazard. This happens repeatedly even when the anti-lock braking system is disabled, and is especially dangerous on windy two-lane roads at highway speeds. The issue likely involves both the brake and steering systems and requires professional diagnostic service to identify the root cause.

Air Bags →1 issue
Your airbag warning light is illuminated on your dashboard. This indicates a problem with your airbag system that needs to be diagnosed by a technician, as the system may not deploy properly in a crash. A mechanic will need to scan your vehicle's computer to identify the specific fault and determine what repair is needed.

Steering,vehicle Speed Control,service Brakes →1 issue
While driving at 70 mph on a dry road with nothing in your path, your car's ABS warning light came on and the brakes engaged unexpectedly, pulling your steering into another lane and slowing you from 70 to 60 mph before stopping on its own. You nearly overcorrected when trying to regain control, and you could have crashed if another vehicle had been nearby. The issue resolved itself with no clear cause. A mechanic will need to scan your ABS system and brake components to identify why the system activated when it shouldn't have.

Power Train →1 issue
Your Sienna rolled backward down your driveway and into the street on its own, even though you had parked it and turned off the engine. When you drove it back up, it happened again. This vehicle was previously recalled for a power train issue (Campaign 17V657000), and Toyota has opened a case file to investigate why the problem is recurring.
Parts you may need:
As an Amazon Associate, MyCarTSB earns from qualifying purchases.
Structure →1 issue
Your spare tire carrier is broken and may not securely hold the spare tire, which could cause it to fall off while driving and create a hazard for you and other vehicles on the road. Additionally, your rack and pinion power steering system may leak fluid, which can cause the steering to lock up and make the vehicle difficult to control. The fix would involve replacing the spare tire carrier assembly and repairing or replacing the leaking rack and pinion steering component.

Service Brakes,forward Collision Avoidance →1 issue
While driving at 65 mph on a dry road with a slight curve, your ABS braking system unexpectedly engaged on its own, causing the van to lose power and fishtail dangerously. Although no collision occurred, this happened without warning and could have caused a crash if other vehicles were nearby. A diagnostic code reader showed no stored error codes, making it difficult to identify the root cause. The issue may require a thorough inspection of the ABS system components and sensors to determine why the system activated when it shouldn't have.

Visibility →1 issue
While driving 70 MPH, your sunroof glass suddenly detached from your vehicle and struck the windshield of the car behind you, causing lacerations to that driver. You didn't immediately realize the damage and only learned about it from police 30 minutes later. The sunroof was identified as an aftermarket Webasto part, possibly related to a known safety issue. Repair will likely involve replacing the sunroof assembly and checking the mounting hardware.

Tires →1 issue
Your four Continental tires installed in early 2021 showed signs of sidewall damage during hot weather in July. After you replaced two tires at your own expense, the remaining two tires appeared normal when temperatures cooled, but one experienced catastrophic failure on the highway in October at 65 mph. You were able to pull over safely, but the tire's sidewall failure matched the pattern of recalled Continental tires. The repair will likely require replacement of the damaged tire and the remaining Continental tire as a precaution.

Forward Collision Avoidance →1 issue
Your traction control and ABS systems are engaging unexpectedly during normal driving, causing your van to suddenly brake hard (dropping from 55 to 30 mph), pull to the right, and sound an alarm—even when you turn off the traction control button. This happened multiple times in one drive, forcing you to fight the steering wheel to stay on the road. The issue appears to be a known problem with Toyota vehicles that may require diagnostic work or replacement of the traction control or ABS system components.

Steering,suspension,service Brakes →1 issue
Your stability control and traction control lights turn on unexpectedly while driving at normal speeds—on highways, curves, hills, and ramps—causing your brakes to engage suddenly and your van to veer to the right. When this happens, you lose steering and braking control, creating a serious safety hazard. Your mechanic has checked the vehicle multiple times but found no diagnostic codes, even when able to recreate the problem. The issue may involve worn bushings or failure in the rack and pinion steering system, which may require replacement of the entire rack and pinion assembly.

Visibility/wiper →1 issue
Your dashboard is creating unwanted glare and reflections on your windshield, especially in bright sunlight, which makes it harder to see the road clearly. This visibility issue poses a safety concern. Toyota issued a recall for this problem, but the replacement part wasn't available for months, and by the time you checked again, the recall had expired.
Parts you may need:
As an Amazon Associate, MyCarTSB earns from qualifying purchases.
Air Bags,seat Belts →1 issue
Your airbag warning light stays on, which means the airbag system isn't working properly. Additionally, your passenger-side seatbelt gets stuck and doesn't move smoothly. Both of these issues need to be checked by a mechanic, as they affect safety systems in your vehicle.
Parts you may need:
As an Amazon Associate, MyCarTSB earns from qualifying purchases.
Power Train,vehicle Speed Control,unknown Or Other →1 issue
Your gear shifter may have become loose or broken, causing it to move freely between gears instead of staying locked in place. You might notice the shifter won't hold in 5th gear, 4th gear, or Park without you holding it, and it moves easily into Reverse and Neutral. The shifter repair will likely involve replacing the internal mechanism or bracket that keeps the shifter positioned in the selected gear.
Parts you may need:
As an Amazon Associate, MyCarTSB earns from qualifying purchases.
Steering,electrical System,unknown Or Other →1 issue
Your stability control light comes on intermittently, causing your vehicle to shake, slow down on its own, and lose some steering responsiveness—especially when turning at 40-50 mph or changing lanes at highway speeds. This has happened 4+ times over 6-8 months, and the problem is getting worse. Neither your mechanic nor the dealership can find any stored error codes to diagnose the issue. The fix will likely involve having a diagnostic technician retrieve active error codes while the problem is happening, then repairing or replacing the faulty stability control or wheel speed sensor causing the false activation.

Electrical System,structure →1 issue
While you were exiting your vehicle in your driveway, the cable on your driver's side sliding door suddenly snapped with a loud popping noise. The snapped cable could have struck you or a passenger, potentially injuring your face or hands. Since the door now won't open, you're unable to use it for emergency escape if needed.

Air Bags,structure →1 issue
Your dashboard has developed cracks across the entire width from the driver's side to the passenger's side. When temperatures change between hot and cold, you hear cracking sounds coming from the dashboard. While this doesn't affect airbag function, the cracking is widespread and gets worse with temperature changes. Fixing this typically involves dashboard replacement or repair.
