Minivans Are Not Supposed to Roll Away [RECALL]
Two car recalls in one day? Is this a record? This time it is Toyota in the spotlight.
Toyota is recalling 310,000 model year 2005 to 2007 and 2009 to 2010 Sienna minivans. The shift lever has an issue that could cause your vehicle to just roll away.
From Toyota:
"In the involved vehicles, grease inside the shift lever assembly could transfer to other internal components, causing them to function improperly. This could allow the shift lever to be moved out of the “Park” position without depressing the brake pedal. If this occurs when the parking brake is not engaged, it could lead to a vehicle rollaway and increase the risk of a crash."
Toyota will notify customers by mail about the recall. If you need more information you can call Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
