Vehicles Affected: Approximately 744,000 model-year 2011-16 Toyota Sienna minivans
The Problem: Under certain conditions, the sliding door motor circuit could be overloaded, opening the fuse for the motor. If the door latch is in an unlatched position, the sliding door could open while driving, increasing the chance of injury to the occupants.
The Fix: Toyota is developing a fix for this recall.
What Owners Should Do: Toyota will notify owners of the recall via U.S. mail in mid-January 2017. For more info, owners can call the automaker at 800-331-4331 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or go to www.safercar.gov for more info.
