Toyota is recalling 24,454 Sienna Hybrid minivans in Canada, model years 2022 to 2026, because a second-row seatback could move in a crash. Transport Canada published the notice on October 20, 2026 and updated it on October 23, 2026.
What the recall notice says
According to the Transport Canada notice, the mechanisms that lock the second-row seat recliners in position may disengage when a seat belt pretensioner activates. If that happens, the seatback or seatbacks could move in a crash, which the notice says could increase the risk of injury.
The affected vehicles are Sienna Hybrid minivans from model years 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. The Transport Canada recall number is 2026505, with the identification number RA-82857.
What owners should do
Toyota advises not using the second-row seats to transport passengers until the recall repairs have been completed. That instruction comes straight from the official notice, so it applies from now, before any dealer visit.
The fix is a software update. Toyota will notify owners by mail and ask them to take the vehicle to a dealership, where the SRS electronic control unit software, which controls the pretensioners, will be updated.
BNN Bloomberg reported that owners can check whether their vehicle is included by entering the VIN on Toyota Canada’s recall lookup page, or by calling Toyota at 1-888-869-6828. The sources reviewed do not say when repairs will start.
What it means for Canadian and US buyers
For Canadian owners, the practical steps are simple: check your VIN, follow Toyota’s advice about the second row, and book the software update once the mail notice arrives or the dealer can take you. Used buyers shopping for a 2022 to 2026 Sienna Hybrid should ask whether the recall work has been done.
The sources reviewed describe the recall in Canada only. US owners and buyers should contact Toyota or check NHTSA for any recall that applies to their vehicle.
The notice lists the issue under seats and restraints. Toyota will contact owners by mail, so keep your address current with the dealer. Recall notices can be updated, so the Transport Canada page is the place to confirm the latest details.
