2011 TOYOTA SIENNA Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2011 Toyota Sienna has 9 recalls, the most serious involving a front right driveshaft that can break without warning while driving, causing a sudden loss of power and raising the risk of a crash. On the brake side, the stop lamp switch bracket sits close enough to the parking brake pedal that a foot can damage it during parking brake application, which can cause brake drag, noise, vibration, a brake warning light, and reduced braking effectiveness. A separate chassis concern affects vehicles in northern and mid-Atlantic states where road salt is common: the cable holding the underfloor spare tire carrier can corrode and release the spare onto the road while driving. Two recalls cover the power sliding doors, which share the same underlying problem: if a door is frozen or otherwise blocked and stalls when commanded to open, it can later swing open unexpectedly while the vehicle is moving. Two compliance recalls address an incorrect load capacity figure on the tire and loading label, which could lead to tire overloading and failure. There is also a Canadian-market recall for second-row seat anchor location markers that fall slightly outside the required position, making child seat lower anchors harder to locate correctly.
