Is there a recall on Toyota Sienna sliding door?

There isn't a universal recall for all Toyota Sienna sliding doors; recalls apply to specific model years and VIN ranges. To determine whether your vehicle is affected, check official sources with your VIN.


Sliding doors can be the focus of safety-related recalls when latch mechanisms, power sliding door components, or wiring harnesses fail or create a risk. Toyota has issued recalls in the past for Sienna models related to sliding-door components, but eligibility depends on the exact production year and configuration. This article explains how to verify current recall status and the steps to take if your vehicle is included.


How to verify recall status for your Sienna


Use these steps to check whether your specific vehicle is under a recall or has an outstanding service campaign.



  • Locate your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) – it can be found on the driver's side dashboard near the windshield, on the driver door jamb, or on your vehicle's registration documents.

  • Visit the official NHTSA recall website (nhtsa.gov/recalls) and enter your VIN to search for open recalls and campaigns.

  • Also check Toyota's official recall page or contact a Toyota dealer with your VIN for up-to-date information.

  • Review any notices you may have received by mail or email from Toyota or the dealership about recalls or service campaigns.


Accessing your VIN-based recall status lets you know if a safety-related repair is required and if there are any free repairs or parts replacements covered by Toyota.


What to do if your Sienna has a recall


If the search reveals an active recall or service campaign for your vehicle, act promptly to arrange a free repair at an authorized dealership.



  • Book a service appointment with your local Toyota dealer and confirm the recall by providing your VIN.

  • Ask about the expected repair duration and whether you need a loaner vehicle if the service will take multiple hours.

  • Bring all relevant information (registration, proof of ownership, and any prior recall notices) to the appointment.

  • After the repair, confirm the recall has been completed in your vehicle's service history and keep documentation for your records.


Even if you don’t have a recall, it's a good habit to check periodically for safety campaigns, especially as messaging and campaigns can be updated over time.

In short, there isn't a universal recall for all Toyota Sienna sliding doors; eligibility depends on model year and VIN. To determine if your Sienna is affected, check the NHTSA recall database and Toyota's recall resources using your VIN, and contact a dealership to schedule any required service.
