Toyota will be recalling about 600,000 first and second generation 1998-2010 Sienna 2WD minivans for the spare tire carrier cable. The vehicles affected will most likely be ones that have been exposed to prolonged salty road conditions causing the cable to corrode and possibly fail.
Toyota is currently working to develop a remedy for this condition, but until this remedy is developed, customers will receive an interim notice instructing them to bring their vehicle to a dealership for a preliminary inspection.
