What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (wheel separation) that can lead to loss of vehicle control and a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects and significant injury risk.

Plain-English summary

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain 2018 Toyota Sienna vehicles. The recall involves vehicles built with a specific lot of 10-spoke alloy wheels from one production facility. These wheels may not have been properly cooled during manufacturing, which can cause them to crack in the spokes from an impact while driving.

If the wheels crack, the wheel may separate from the hub assembly. This failure can cause a loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.

Toyota began notifying owners by phone on February 26, 2018, and will mail letters to unnotified owners starting April 20, 2018. Dealers will inspect the wheels and replace them if necessary, free of charge. Owners can contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
