Toyota recall overview:
- Who: Toyota is recalling more than 54,000 Sienna Hybrid minivans and nearly 394,000 Tundra, Tundra Hybrid and Sequoia Hybrid vehicles.
- Why: The recalls are due to improperly welded second-row seat rails and rearview imaging issues.
- Where: The recalls are active in the United States.
Toyota has recalled more than 54,000 Sienna Hybrid minivans from the 2025 model year due to concerns about the welding of the second-row seat rails, which could pose a safety risk.
The recall, announced on Oct. 7, affects 54,631 vehicles, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The issue arises from the second-row seat rails, which may not have been welded correctly. This defect could prevent the seat from adequately restraining an occupant during a crash, thereby increasing the risk of injury.
In an early recall on Oct. 1, the company issued a recall notice for 393,838 Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid models, years 2022-2025, as well as 2023-2025 Sequoia Hybrid models.
The issue stems from a software error that can prevent the rearview camera image from displaying when the vehicle is in reverse, which does not meet the standards set by the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111 concerning rear visibility.
Toyota offers free repairs and software update to fix recall issues
Toyota has committed to replacing the second-row seat rails at no cost to the Sienna Hybrid minivan owners. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk are expected to be mailed by Nov. 21, with additional notifications once the final remedy is available, anticipated by Dec. 6.
For the Toyota Tundra recall, the company will provide a software update for the multimedia display at no cost to the vehicle owners. The company plans to send out notification letters to affected owners by Nov. 16.
For more information about the recalls, consumers can contact Toyota’s customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Additionally, updates and further details will be provided through mailed notifications as the situation develops.
Toyota says it has not received any reports of injuries related to the recalls so far. The company is not currently facing legal action over the recalls, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes lead to class action lawsuits.
Earlier this year, Toyota recalled more than 40,000 Camry Hybrid and Lexus NX250, NX350, NX350 Hybrid, RX350, RX350 Hybrid and RX500 Hybrid vehicles over concerns that the second-row center seat belts in certain models could be damaged.
