## What the official recall record says

### TOYOTA: SIENNA HYBRID

The affected seat backs may fail to remain secured during a crash. An unsecured seat back may not properly protect an occupant, increasing the risk of injury. The specified remedy is a software update to the electronic control unit for the supplemental restraint system. For vehicles equipped with the Mobility as a Service package, the remedy also includes replacing the affected seat backs. The work is to be performed at no charge; the record does not specify whether repairs are currently available.
