2025 Toyota Sienna Hybrid

The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Sienna. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V668000 (Seats). The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired due to the remedy not being available. The contact was concerned about using the vehicle. The manufacturer was not contacted. The contact had not experienced a failure.

In October, 2025 I learned of a serious safety recall for improperly welded seat rails during manufacturing of a 2025 Toyota Sienna. I was not officially communicated of this safety recall by mail until December, 2025. I purchased this vehicle specifically to safely transport children and elderly parents, requiring full functionality of the captains seats and rear seats. While a repair/fix is being evaluated, Toyota provided the option to rent a vehicle and leave my new Toyota Sienna sitting on the dealer lot. However, no equivalent Toyota Siennas are available for long term rental at local dealerships, forcing us into highly inconvenient options for transport. Toyota was negligent in selling a new vehicle with improperly welded seat rails. There was a lapse in manufacturing quality control that is evident. Why were customers not notified until December of 2025, when these vehicles were sold nearly 6 months prior? After communications in December, 2025, there have been zero follow up correspondence from Toyota as of January 20, 2026.

Toyota issued a recall on some 2025 Toyota Sienna’s. Our app notified us in October and we immediately took it to the dealership for a rental, as we were advised not to use the second row seats. We have to use those because we have 3 kids in car seats. The interim notice was not even mailed out until December. We were told they would start rolling out the fix for this issue in late December or January. It is now January, and there is no update on the recall and nobody can get any information from Toyota. Our car has been sitting for over three months at the dealership, undrivable. They are not offering any compensation for people affected by this recall. Since it has been out of service for that long, it should should be a lemon law qualification. We did not purchase a brand new car for it to sit there unusable. There does not seem to be any urgency on Toyota‘s part for this to be fixed. We have no updates or information and this does not seem to be a priority for them. There are 55,000 vehicles affected. This is a large number of people, and somebody needs to put some real pressure on Toyota to fix the problem. This is unacceptable and somebody needs to look into this further. Please pass this along and do something about it because this is not fair to those of us who in good faith are making our payments every month on a car that we are not able to use. It’s basically sitting there rotting while Toyota takes their sweet time to figure out how to fix it. I am extremely unhappy and am looking for some type of recourse. And I know I am not the only one as I am seeing posts about it on online daily, from unhappy customers. This recall is due to a safety issue, if it’s so unsafe, why aren’t they fixing it?

The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Sienna. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V668000 (Seats); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

I received a notification on my Toyota App in mid-Oct advising there was a recall due to the second-row seat being improperly welded. At that time, I was advised a repair was in work and to avoid using those seats. However, I have four children and require all the seats in my Sienna so I have been forced to continue to use the seats, despite the warning. In December, we called our dealership to inquire if the repair was ready or if they had a loaner vehicle we could use until the repair was ready since we were not supposed to be using those seats. The answer was "no repair is ready" and there was no loaner they could provide for the foreseeable future. At this point, I feel like I am driving an unsafe car, continually forced to put my toddler and infant into seats that could become disconnected at any time because in almost 4 months Toyota still can't seem to figure out a repair for seat welds. Toyota either needs to get a repair done ASAP, provide us with a loaner, or pay for my family to rent an appropriate vehicle to support our needs until such a time as a remedy has been enacted.

My name is [XXX] , and I am filing this safety complaint regarding my 2025 Toyota Sienna, VIN [XXX] , subject to Recall 25TA12. The vehicle has been under recall for a safety issue related to second-row seat rails, and I have been informed by both the dealership and Toyota representatives that they cannot guarantee the vehicle is safe for transporting children. I continue to pay full monthly finance payments (to Toyota!!! They financed my car) for this vehicle, which I cannot safely use as intended (for transporting my four children), and the dealerships in my area do not have suitable loaner vehicles. I am filing this complaint to document the ongoing safety risk and the financial and logistical burden this situation has created. I request that this recall and its handling be reviewed, and that appropriate action be taken to protect consumers. Thank you.

I am writing regarding my 2025 Toyota Sienna, purchased in June 2025, which is currently subject to Safety Recall Interim Notice 25TB12 concerning unsafe second-row seat welds that could result in serious injury or death. I appreciate the professionalism and concern shown by Sparks Toyota in acknowledging the seriousness of this recall and providing a loaner vehicle while my Sienna is deemed unsafe to drive. However, the current loaner—a Toyota Highlander—does not meet my family’s needs and is not a reasonable substitute for the vehicle I purchased. We intentionally purchased a minivan due to our family size and lifestyle requirements. My daughter is a competitive gymnast, and we frequently travel with athletic equipment and multiple passengers. The Highlander is significantly smaller than a Sienna and cannot safely or practically accommodate our needs. Additionally, I am concerned that there is currently no repair solution or estimated completion timeline for this safety issue, leaving us indefinitely without access to a comparable vehicle. At this point, I am respectfully requesting the following: 1.Placement in a replacement vehicle comparable in size and function to a minivan (such as a Toyota Sienna or similarly sized vehicle). • If Sparks Toyota does not have an appropriate vehicle available, I request authorization for a comparable vehicle through an outside rental agency at Toyota’s expense. 2.Compensation for the ongoing inconvenience caused by the safety defect, lack of a repair timeline, and the inability to use the vehicle I purchased. 3.A clear estimate or update regarding when my vehicle is expected to be repaired and returned in a condition that is safe for my family. This recall involves a serious safety risk, and I believe it is reasonable to expect transportation that meets the same capacity and purpose as the vehicle I purchased—especially while awaiting a manufacturer-level remedy.
