Toyota Issues Recall of 600,000 Sienna Minivans to Fix Corrosion Issue
Toyota has issued a recall of approximately 600,000 first and second generation Sienna minivans (1998-2010) to address potential corrosion in the spare tire carrier cable.
The voluntary recall affects Siennas that have been operated in cold climate areas with high road salt use. Prolonged exposure to road salt could corrode the spare tire cable, which could cause the cable to fail and the spare tire could fall of the vehicle.
Toyota is currently working on a remedy for the problem, but until then owners can bring their Siennas in to their local dealer for an inspection.
Steve St. Angelo, Toyota Chief Quality Officer for North America, said: "Toyota is listening to its customers attentively, and we want to make sure their voices are heard. As part of that commitment, we are providing free inspections of the spare tire carrier cable even in states that are not included in this recall. We are also working diligently to develop a remedy as soon as possible."
PRESS RELEASE:
TORRANCE, Calif., April 16, 2010 - Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., today announced that it will launch a voluntary Safety Recall involving approximately 600,000 first- and second-generation Sienna 2WD minivans sold in the United States to address potential corrosion in the spare tire carrier cable.
This condition may appear on certain 1998 through 2010 model year Siennas that have been operated in cold climate areas with high road salt use. Continued prolonged exposure to road salts may cause excessive corrosion of the carrier cable in some of these vehicles. In the worst case, the carrier cable may fail and the spare tire could become separated from the vehicle, a road hazard for following vehicles that increases the likelihood of a crash.
Toyota is currently working to develop a remedy for this condition. Until this remedy is developed, customers will receive an interim notice instructing them to bring their vehicle to a dealership for a preliminary inspection.
