The 2004 Toyota Sienna has 13 recalls, with the most serious being a transmission shift interlock failure that allows the vehicle to roll away or move into a drive gear without the brake pedal depressed, risking a rollaway or backover crash.
Two separate fuel system recalls address the risk of the fuel tank being damaged in a frontal collision and leaking fuel, which can lead to a fire. On the accelerator side, two recalls cover conditions where trim pieces, either a floor carpet clip or a center console panel not reinstalled after a service visit, can press against the accelerator pedal and cause it to stick near full throttle. Vehicles registered or sold in certain northern and mid-Atlantic states face a corrosion-related concern where the cable holding the spare tire under the vehicle can rust through, dropping the tire onto the road and creating a hazard for following traffic. On the restraint side, the middle-row seatbelt on certain seven- and eight-passenger configurations can bind in its bezel trim, leaving excess slack in the belt and reducing how well it holds a passenger in a crash. On vehicles with a power rear liftgate, the gas struts that hold it open can wear out prematurely, allowing the heavy door to fall. There is also a label recall covering certain accessorized vehicles where the weight rating on the tire and loading information label does not account for added accessories.
