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

Plain-English summary

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain 2019 Toyota Sienna vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where the passenger front door may have incorrect welds inside. These welds can affect the air bag sensor readings for the passenger side front seat and curtain shield air bags.

The incorrect sensor readings could cause the affected air bags to deploy unintentionally or fail to deploy when intended. This malfunction increases the risk of a crash and/or injury to vehicle occupants.

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger side front door sub-assembly with a new one free of charge. The recall began on June 21, 2019. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
