Defect

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2018 Toyota Sienna vehicles built with a specific lot of 10-spoke alloy wheels from one production facility. These wheels may not have been properly cooled during manufacturing. As a result, the wheels may crack in the spokes from an impact while driving.

Consequence

If the wheels crack at the spokes, the wheel may separate from the hub assembly causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action

Toyota began notifying owners initially by phone on February 26, 2018 and will mail letters to any unnotified owner starting on April 20, 2018. Dealers will inspect the wheels and replace them if necessary depending on their production location, free of charge. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371. Toyota's number for this recall is J0J.

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Steering and Braking

NHTSA recall information describes risks that deserve prompt attention. Certain wheels may crack at the spokes and separate from the hub, potentially causing loss of control. Certain mobility-van brake lines may reduce rear braking pressure, while improperly routed or short rear hoses may fail after rubbing against the axle. Modified vehicles may also have steering-shaft extensions that fracture, potentially eliminating steering control. Fuel-pump failures may stall the engine while driving, and an incorrect load-capacity label could contribute to unintended overloading. Waiting can leave a safety-related condition unresolved. A VIN check identifies whether one of these campaigns applies to your vehicle and which manufacturer remedy is appropriate.
