Sienna owners - Heads up!

I get the Wall Street Journal delivered everyday, and I was reading an article in today's edition entitled "Toyota May Delay New Models To Address Rising Quality Issues." The article basically says that Toyota may delay the introductions of new vehicle models an additional 3-6 months, in order to address the rising number of recalls and quality problems being reported with their current vehicles.

Anyway, there was one paragraph in particular that I wanted to share, and I'll quote directly from the article:

"This year, the company has recalled about 628,000 vehicles in the U.S., and people familiar with the matter say it may soon recall an additional half-million vehicles. The latest recall would affect the current generation of the Sienna minivan, because of concern that poorly designed locking devices for rear seats may fail to securely anchor them to the vehicle floor."

I'd send a link to the article on their website, but you have to be a paying subscriber to gain access.

Thanks for the heads up. :eek: Toyota's recalls would increase after I bought a Sienna, the first "foreign" car I've ever owned. :rolleyes: Ironically, my Sienna was built in Indiana and has a higher domestic content than the Saturn Vue it replaced.

What does 'current generation' mean? Anyone know what years this affects? We have a '99 I think but my in-laws have a '05.

I believe current generation refers to the '04 and newer Sienna models, basically after the big redesign for the '04 model year.
