Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Gulf States Toyota, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2015 Toyota Sienna vehicles manufactured between January 23, 2015, and April 13, 2015. These specific vehicles were equipped with non-Toyota-brand overhead entertainment accessories installed by Gulf States Toyota. The recall affects 387 vehicles.

The defect involves a trim panel securing clip that may have been reused instead of replaced during the reassembly of the interior after the overhead entertainment system installation. If the clip was damaged during this installation, the trim panel may detach in the event of a side curtain airbag deployment. A detached trim panel could strike a vehicle occupant, increasing the risk of injury.

Gulf States Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the trim panel securing clip free of charge. The recall began on June 5, 2015. Owners may contact Gulf States Toyota customer service at 1-800-444-1074. Gulf States Toyota's number for this recall is 15R1. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.safercar.gov.
