The 2007 Toyota Sienna has 5 recalls, the most serious being a transmission shift lock failure that allows the gear selector to be moved out of Park without pressing the brake pedal, risking an uncontrolled rollaway or backover.
Two recalls relate to the spare tire on vehicles registered or originally sold in certain northern and mid-Atlantic states where road salt is common: the cable holding the spare tire under the vehicle can corrode and snap, dropping the tire onto the road and creating a crash hazard for following traffic. On the safety equipment side, certain vehicles equipped with aftermarket heated front seats face a fire risk if the copper heating element inside the seat cushion shorts out. This recall applies to vehicles sold through Southeast Toyota distributors and only affects units with the specific aftermarket seat heater in question.
