(April 7, 2016) TORRANCE, Calif. — Toyota has announced that it is recalling approximately 230 model year 2016 Sienna minivans,  approximately 4,170 model year 2016 Toyota RAV4; approximately 90 model year 2016 Lexus RX 350; and approximately 12,400 model year 2016 Lexus ES 350.

The involved Sienna minivans may be equipped with incorrect front seat belt height adjuster assemblies mounted to the center-pillar. There is a possibility that, in the event of a severe crash, the incorrect height adjuster could separate.  If this occurs, the seat belt may not properly restrain the occupant, which could increase the risk of injury.

The RAV4, RX 350 and ES 350 vehicles are equipped with a brake actuator assembly that enables enhanced brake control functions including the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Traction Control (TRAC), and Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), among others. There is a possibility that a component inside the actuator could have been damaged during manufacturing, preventing the actuator from operating properly. This could cause a loss of vehicle stability control, increasing the risk of crash.

All known owners of the affected Toyota and Lexus vehicles will be notified by first class mail.  Toyota and Lexus dealers will check the serial number of the brake actuator and replace actuators assembled during a specific production period.
