This has been a recall for over 5 months and my van is still not repaired and my two middle seats are unsafe for my children to be in. Toyota and the dealership say there is no fix, but the car is unsafe in the second row per their recommendation.

There is a safety recall on my vehicle with no remedy. It has been 7 months since the recall notification. The dealer provided us with a rental, however it is a different model (Sienna vs 4 Runner).

Difficulty in pulling the seats belt on the second row seats when the car is turned off. Child has no wiggle room once it’s fastened and cannot undo seat belt as there’s no room to reach to unbuckle belt. I have to force the seat belt out of booster seat so belt can retract completely. The third row seats had a similar issue but didn’t have to force to out of booster seat for it to work properly.

The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Sienna Hybrid. The contact received notice of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V668000 (Seats) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

We were notified by Toyota that it was unsafe to transport our children in the second row seats in November 2025 and the vehicle was under a recall. This puts our children at risk such that we cannot use the vehicle for its intended purpose, namely, transporting our three young children. A letter from NHTSA stated Toyota would have a remedy by 12/6. The manufacturer (Toyota) confirmed this recall. Given that Toyota has not indicated a solution date for this and the problem was discovered in October 2025 I believe the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for our vehicle in a timely manner and would like to officially log a complaint with NHTSA
