- Manufacturer: Toyota Motor Engineering \& Manufacturing

## What is wrong

Toyota Motor Engineering \& Manufacturing \(Toyota\) is recalling certain model year 2004\-2011 Sienna vehicles originally sold in, or currently registered in, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia.  The affected vehicles have a spare tire carrier assembly mounted under the vehicle whose attachment cable may corrode due to high concentrations of road salt splashing onto the spare tire carrier.


## What can happen

If the carrier cable is corroded due to road salt, the spare tire may separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Toyota sent owners in August 2014 an interim notification to advise owners of the recall and that dealers will perform an interim remedy to remove the spare tire and relocate it to the luggage compartment, free of charge.  Owners are being mailed a second letter as parts become available and dealers will replace the spare tire carrier assembly with an improved one, free of charge.  The remedy campaign is being performed in phases.  The first phase of the recall began July 7, 2015.  Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1\-800\-331\-4331.  NOTE:  2004\-2010 Siennas subject to this recall were subject to recall campaign 10V\-160 initiated in 2010.  Those owners are advised that they must have their vehicles remedied again under this campaign and that having the earlier recall completed did not remedy their vehicles.  Additionally, model year 1998\-2003 Siennas were recalled as part of safety recall 10V\-160.  Owners of those vehicles that have not had not the remedy performed on their vehicles, should contact their Toyota dealer to schedule a free repair.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
