Only vehicles that are converted for wheelchair accessibility by a Toyota-authorized mobility conversion company are compatible with the remedy. Who are the authorized mobility conversion companies? Below is the list of companies that are authorized by Toyota to convert Sienna vehicles for wheelchair accessibility. o The Braun Corporation (BraunAbility) o Vantage Mobility International (VMI) What if a vehicle is converted by a non-authorized mobility conversion company? Sienna vehicles that have been converted for wheelchair accessibility by a non-Toyota authorized mobility conversion company have undergone an unauthorized modification to the factory condition of the vehicle. These vehicles may be incompatible with the remedy in their current modified condition. Toyota does not recommend modifying vehicles and cannot evaluate how any aftermarket, non-Toyota approved parts and/or modifications could affect a vehicle’s performance. Notwithstanding Toyota’s recommendation, some dealers may be willing to perform the Safety Recall remedy with the vehicle in its current modified condition.
