More than 24,000 Toyota minivans are being recalled in Canada because of a problem that could cause second-row seatbacks to move during a crash.<\/p>\n

Transport Canada says the recall affects 24,454 Toyota Sienna Hybrid minivans from the 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 model years.<\/p>\n

The recall, initially issued Oct. 20 and updated Oct. 23, involves the vehicle\u2019s seats and restraint system.<\/p>\n

According to Transport Canada, under certain conditions, the mechanisms designed to lock the second-row seat recliners in position could disengage when a seat belt pretensioner activates.<\/p>\n

If that happens, the second-row seatback could move during a collision.<\/p>\n

Transport Canada warns that a moving seatback could increase the risk of injury to occupants in a crash.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Toyota is taking the unusual step of advising owners not to use the second-row seats to transport passengers until the recall repairs have been completed.<\/p>\n

Owners of affected vehicles will be notified by mail and instructed to take their Sienna Hybrid to a Toyota dealership.<\/p>\n

Dealers will update the vehicle\u2019s SRS electronic control unit software, which controls the seat belt pretensioners, to address the problem.<\/p>\n

The recall is listed by Transport Canada under recall number 2026-505, while Toyota\u2019s manufacturer recall number is SRC RN6.<\/p>\n

Owners who believe their vehicle may be affected can check their vehicle identification number through Toyota\u2019s recall lookup service or contact Toyota Canada at 1-888-869-6828.<\/p>\n
