Toyota Recalls 2011-2016 Sienna Minivans for Power Sliding Door Defect

Toyota is recalling 2011-2016 Sienna minivans because the power sliding door may open unexpectedly while the vehicle is moving, increasing the risk of injury to occupants.

What this means for you

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.

The defect involves the power sliding door mechanism. If the door is unable to open when commanded, such as if it is frozen shut, it may subsequently open unexpectedly. This could occur while the vehicle is moving, which increases the risk of injury to the vehicle occupants.

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the junction block, rear sliding door wire harnesses, and install two sub wire harnesses free of charge. The recall began on July 28, 2017. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
