The Sienna is Toyota’s all-new model and it is now facing its first recall. This time, the brand-new 2011 Sienna model has a problem with the positioning of the stop lamp switch bracket and the parking brake pedal. The switch bracket is welded on to the left side of the brake pedal assembly. The brake lamp provides a signal to indicate that the brake pedal has been depressed and illuminates the brake lights. This new brake problem for Toyota could lead, in severe cases, to a loss of braking effectiveness.
On Monday the Toyota Motor Corp announced said that it would recall about 110,000 of the 2011 Sienna minivans. The recall covers about 94,000 vehicles in the United States, 12,000 sold in Canada and 5,000 in Mexico.
