Buying a used 2023 Toyota Sienna Hybrid? Check these 2 recalls first
Short recall list — loose third-row seatback bolts, plus a wheelchair-restraint recall affecting only converted vans — but the complaint side stands out: 66 NHTSA reports, 26 of them about service brakes, alongside eight crashes and five injuries. These are unverified owner reports, not confirmed defects, and no recall listed here covers braking. Electrical and visibility/wiper items form smaller groups. Brakes are the area to scrutinize most on this year.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Brake hard and repeatedly on the test drive, noting pedal feel, noise or warning messages.
- Ask the seller about any braking-system service or dealer visits for brake concerns.
- Confirm the third-row seatback bolt recall was performed on this VIN.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
