Original Publication Date: February 22, 2018

To:	All Toyota Dealer Principals, General Managers, Service Managers, and Parts Managers
Subject:	Safety Recall J0J – Remedy Notice Certain 2018 Model Year Sienna Vehicles 10-Spoke Alloy Wheels

 

On February 22, 2018, Toyota filed a Defect Information Report (DIR) with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) informing the agency of our intent to conduct a voluntary Safety Recall on certain 2018 model year Sienna vehicles.

 

Condition

The involved vehicles may have been equipped with certain 10 spoke alloy wheels that may not have been manufactured properly.  Under certain driving conditions involving impact to the wheels, these wheels can crack in the spokes and could ultimately separate at the hub.  If the wheel separates at the hub, a loss of vehicle control could occur, increasing the risk of a crash.

 

Remedy

Any authorized Toyota dealer will inspect each of the vehicle’s four wheels and, if necessary, replace the wheel with a new one at NO CHARGE. Only wheels found to be from a specific production location will be replaced. The spare wheel will not be inspected because it is not affected by the condition. Note: If a wheel is replaced with a new one, the original wheel’s tire will be re-used as part of the repair.

 

Covered Vehicles

There are 55 vehicles covered by this Safety Recall. None of the vehicles covered by this Safety Recall were distributed to Puerto Rico.

Model Name	Model Year	Production Period
Sienna	2018	Early January 2018 – Mid January 2018

 

Owner Letter Mailing Date

The Toyota Customer Experience Center will call all vehicle owners starting late February 2018, to inform them that their vehicle is involved in this Safety Recall and to assist in scheduling an appointment at the dealer. Any owner whose vehicle has not been repaired by late April 2018, will be contacted via first class mail.

Toyota makes significant effort to obtain current customer name and address information from each state through industry resources when mailing owner letters. In the event your dealership receives a notice for a vehicle that was sold prior to the Safety Recall announcement, it is the dealership’s responsibility to forward the owner letter to the customer who purchased the vehicle.

Please note that only owners of the covered vehicles will be notified. If you are contacted by an owner who has not yet received a notification, please verify eligibility by confirming through TIS prior to performing repairs. Dealers should perform the repair as outlined in the Technical Instructions found on TIS.

 

New Vehicles in Dealership Inventory

There are approximately 16 new vehicles in new dealer inventory as of February 21, 2018.

Under Title 49, Section 30112 of the United States Code, a dealer cannot sell, offer for sale, or introduce or deliver for introduction in interstate commerce a new motor vehicle when it is aware that the vehicle does not comply with an applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard or contains a defect related to motor vehicle safety.  Further, 49 Code of Federal Regulations §577.13 requires us to provide the following advisory:  It is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by this notification under a sale or lease until the defect or noncompliance is remedied. Toyota reimburses dealers for flooring costs associated with new vehicles held in dealership inventory until the recall remedy becomes available.  Toyota provides these flooring reimbursements at 60 day intervals.  Toyota reserves the right to withhold or charge-back any flooring reimbursement funds that may have been paid to the dealer if it determines that a new vehicle subject to a safety recall was sold without first being remedied. Vehicle Safety Recall completion should always be verified through TIS. We request your assistance to ensure involved vehicles are identified and not delivered prior to performing the remedy.

 

NOTE: Dealers can identify if any of their new and used inventory has any open campaigns in the Vehicle Inventory Summary available in Dealer Daily (https://dealerdaily.toyota.com/).

 

Inspection Reminder Mirror Hang Tags for Covered Vehicles in New Dealer Stock

To easily recognize vehicles involved in this Safety Recall, each dealership should utilize Inspection Reminder Hang Tags. Inside the vehicle’s glove box are stickers containing the VIN. Apply one of these stickers to the hang tag and install the hang tag in the vehicle. A sample copy of the Inspection Reminder Hang Tag has been included for your reference.

NOTE: Dealerships can order hang tags from the Material Distribution Center (MDC).

Part Number	Description	Quantity
00411-140003	Inspection Mirror Hang Tag	25 Per Pack

 

Pre-Owned Vehicles in Dealer Inventory

To ensure customer satisfaction, Toyota requeststhat dealers complete this Safety Recall on any used vehicles currently in dealer inventory that are covered by this Safety Recall prior to customer delivery. However, if the campaign cannot be completed (for example, due to remedy parts availability), delivery of a covered vehicle is acceptable if disclosed to the customer that the vehicle is involved in a Safety Recall.

Toyota expects dealers to use the attached Customer Contact and Vehicle Disclosure Form to obtain vehicle buyer information. Dealers are expected to provide a copy of the completed form, along with the most current FAQ, to the vehicle buyer. Toyota and the dealer may use this information to contact the customer when the remedy becomes available.

Keep the completed form on file at the dealership and send a copy to quality_compliance@toyota.com. In the subject line of the email state “Disclosure Form J0J” and include the VIN.

NOTE: Dealers can identify if any of their new and used inventory has any open campaigns in the Vehicle Inventory Summary available in Dealer Daily (https://dealerdaily.toyota.com/).

 

Toyota Certified Used Vehicle (TCUV)

The TCUV policy prohibits the certification of any vehicle with an outstanding Safety Recall, Special Service Campaign, or Limited Service Campaign.  Thus, no affected units are to be designated, sold, or delivered as a TCUV until all applicable Safety Recalls, Special Service Campaigns, and Limited Service Campaigns have been completed on that vehicle.

 

Toyota Rent-A-Car (TRAC) & Service Loaners

Toyota requests that dealers remove all TRAC and Service Loaner vehicles from service that are covered by a Safety Recall unless the defect has been remedied.
