2014 TOYOTA SIENNA

  • Brand TOYOTA

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Toyota is recalling certain 2014 Sienna vehicles manufactured between June 17, 2014, and June 24, 2014, due to a defective transmission shift control cable. If the cable separates while driving, the transmission gear may not match what the driver selected, causing the vehicle to move unexpectedly and increasing crash risk. Additionally, the vehicle may not actually be in Park even when the driver selects that position, which could cause the vehicle to roll away as occupants exit or afterward, posing an injury risk to people inside or nearby.

Toyota dealers will inspect and replace the transmission shift control cable at no charge to owners. The recall began in early August 2014. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.

Hazard

If the transmission shift cable separates while the vehicle is being driven, the transmission gear selection may not match the indicated gear and the vehicle may move in an unintended or unexpected direction, increasing the risk of a crash. Furthermore, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, despite selecting the 'PARK' position, the transmission may not be in 'PARK.' If the vehicle is not in the 'PARK' position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.

What should I do?

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the transmission shift control cable, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began in early August 2014. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.

Details from the source

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2014 Sienna vehicles manufactured June 17, 2014, through June 24, 2014. The affected vehicles have a transmission shift control cable whose protective cable sleeve may have been damaged during assembly. This could cause the control cable to bind or separate during gear shift operation causing incorrect gear selection. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking Effect."
