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.

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.
