What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (seat belt failure) that increases the risk of injury in a crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain model year 2016 Toyota Sienna vehicles manufactured between February 15, 2016, and February 19, 2016. The recall addresses a defect where incorrect front seat belt height adjusters may have been installed.
During a crash, these incorrect height adjusters may contact the B-pillar and tear or separate. If the seat belt height adjuster fails and detaches, the occupant may not be properly restrained, which increases their risk of injury.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front seat belt height adjusters free of charge. The recall began on April 29, 2016. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 or visit www.safercar.gov for more information.
