SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY:RECLINER
- The defect
- Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2021-2025 Sienna Hybrid vehicles. The bolts for the seatbacks on the third-row seat assemblies may not be tightened properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) numbers 202, "Head Restraints," 207, "Seating Systems," and 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems."
- What it can cause
- An improperly tightened seatback may not adequately restrain the occupant during a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will tighten the seat assembly bolts, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 1, 2025. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is 25TA05.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 (TTY 888-275-9171) or go to nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 167,802 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 94% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Toyota vehicles have been recalled over the seats 8 times before this, most recently in February 2024 as 24V128000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 5 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 458 complaints with NHTSA, 77 of them before this campaign was filed. 225 of those name the seats, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in December 2020, 4 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 25V876000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 25V744000 (back over prevention), 25V668000 (seats), 23V865000 (air bags).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing with NHTSA on February 13, 2025 as campaign 25V086000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
