TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED NOTICE IN LATE JULY 2016 ABOUT THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. DUE TO TRAVEL, IT WAS A FEW WEEKS BEFORE I COULD TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALER. I WAS OFFERED A TOYOTA CAMRY AS A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE, BUT I REQUESTED FROM TOYOTA USA, AND RECEIVED, AUTHORIZATION TO RENT A MINIVAN THROUGH ENTERPRISE. I PICKED UP THAT VEHICLE MID AUGUST 2016. IN NOVEMBER 2016 I RECEIVED NOTICE THAT MY VAN ALSO HAD A SLIDING DOOR RECALL. I INITIALLY STORED MY VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP, BUT WAS TOLD TO MOVE IT TO MY HOME IN LATE DECEMBER 2016. IT IS NOW LATE JUNE 2017 AND I HAVE HEARD NOTHING ABOUT EITHER OF THESE RECALLS. THE SAFERCARS.GOV WEBSITE SAYS THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE FOR EITHER RECALL YET. ALMOST 11 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN WAITING ON THE AIRBAG RECALL, AND 7 MONTHS ON THE SLIDING DOOR RECALL. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE WAITING TIME. YES, I HAVE A RENTAL CAR AVAILABLE TO ME, FOR WHICH I'M GRATEFUL, BUT IN THE MEANTIME MY OWN CAR IS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY, UNDRIVEN, AND BASICALLY ROTTING. TOYOTA HAS SPENT OVER $17,000 RENTING A VEHICLE FOR ME TO DRIVE, WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. THEY SHOULD HAVE JUST BOUGHT MY CAR FROM ME AND BEEN DONE WITH IT. I'M SO FRUSTRATED WITH THIS SITUATION. HOW MUCH LONGER AM I SUPPOSED TO WAIT???

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

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.

Southeast Toyota is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2010-2013 Toyota Tundra, 2010-2012 Rav4, 2012 Toyota Sequoia, 2010-2011 Toyota Corolla, 2010-2011 Toyota Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2010-2013 Toyota Highlander and Highlander Hybrid, 2010-2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser, 2011 Toyota Land Cruiser, 2010-2013 Toyota Venza, 2010-2011 Toyota 4Runner, 2010-2013 Toyota Tacoma, 2011-2012 Toyota Sienna, 2012 Toyota Prius, 2013 Scion FR-S, 2011 Scion XD, 2011 Scion XB, and 2012 Scion TC vehicles. These vehicles were sold with labels that were outside the allowable one percent of accuracy of actual weight added. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) Number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: An inaccurate label could lead to owners overloading their vehicles and tires. An overloaded vehicle can result in a tire failure which may result in a vehicle crash, personal injury, or property damage.
Remedy: Southeast Toyota will notify owners and provide a corrected label with instructions concerning its installation.

Jan 16, 2013
Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) is recalling certain models interspersed through model years 2009 through 2013 as follows: model year 2009-2012 Tacoma, 4Runner, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Prius, and RAV4; model year 2009-2010 Avalon, FJ Cruiser, and Highlander Hybrid; model year 2010-2013 model year Corolla, Sienna and Tundra; model year 2009-2013 Highlander and Venza; model year 2012 Prius V; and model year 2010-2012 Sequoia.

Without passing the calibration test, the occupant sensing system may not operate as designed.
Consequence & remedy

This could increase the risk of personal injury during the event of a vehicle crash necessitating airbag deployment.
Remedy: Southeast Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will test the sensitivity of the occupant detection sensors, and recalibrate them as necessary. The recall began on March 21, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1-800-301-6859.

During modification by SET to include accessories such as leather seat covers, seat heaters or headrest DVD systems, these vehicles may not have had the passenger seat occupant sensing system calibration tested. Without passing the calibration test, the occupant sensing system may not operate as designed.
Consequence: If the front passenger seat occupant sensing system is out of calibration, the front passenger airbags may not deploy or they may deploy inappropriately for the passenger's size and position. This could increase the risk of personal injury during the event of a vehicle crash necessitating airbag deployment.
Remedy: Southeast Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will test the sensitivity of the occupant detection sensors, and recalibrate them as necessary. The recall began on March 21, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1-800-301-6859.
