What's wrong, in plain English

Some Toyota Sienna vehicles may have incorrect welds inside the passenger front door. These welds can affect the readings from the air bag sensor for the front passenger seat. Because of this, the passenger side front air bag and the curtain shield air bag could deploy when they should not, or fail to deploy when they are needed. Either problem increases the risk of a crash or injury.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact a Toyota dealer or Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371 (recall number K1G/K0G) to schedule replacement of the passenger front door sub-assembly.
3. The repair is free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
