Which Siennas Are Covered?
NHTSA’s records list the 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 Toyota Sienna Hybrid in campaign 26V690, limited to 7-passenger vehicles. Not every 7-passenger Sienna from those years is necessarily included, so eligibility depends on the individual VIN, which can be checked on NHTSA’s recall lookup.How Toyota Will Fix It
Dealers will update the software in the supplemental restraint system (SRS) electronic control unit. Vehicles equipped with the “Mobility as a Service” (MaaS) package get a different repair: dealers will replace the two second-row seat backs. Both repairs are free. Toyota’s numbers for the recall are 26TB24 and 26TA24, and the company expects to mail owner notification letters on December 7, 2026.A Separate Sienna Seat Recall From 2025
This is not the first second-row seat recall on the current Sienna. A 2025 recall (25V668) covered second-row seat rails on 2025 Sienna Hybrid minivans, and owners have since sued, alleging Toyota took months to make that repair; OCA covers the case in the Sienna seat rail lawsuit. Campaign 26V690 is a different defect, involves the seat backs rather than the rails, and reaches back to the 2022 model year.Questions
