What happened

Toyota is recalling certain 2004-2005 Sienna vehicles manufactured between January 10, 2003 and August 10, 2005, and 2007-2009 Sienna vehicles manufactured between February 20, 2007 and December 12, 2008. These vehicles have a defect in the shift lock solenoid that may allow the shift lever to be moved out of Park position without the driver pressing the brake pedal.

If the shift lever moves out of Park without the brake applied, the transmission may engage a drive gear or shift to Neutral, which increases the risk of the vehicle rolling backward or rolling away. To fix this problem, Toyota will mail initial notifications to owners beginning in late October 2013, followed by a second notice when replacement parts become available. Dealers will replace the shift lock solenoid at no cost to owners. Affected consumers should contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
