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 (door opening while moving) that poses a risk of harm to occupants, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities, 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 2011-2016 Toyota Sienna minivans manufactured between January 4, 2010, and August 12, 2016. The recall affects 744,437 vehicles.
