Details

What's wrong: Gulf states Toyota, Inc. (gst) is recalling certain model year 2015 Toyota Sienna vehicles manufactured January 23, 2015, to April 13, 2015, and equipped with non-Toyota-brand overhead entertainment accessories installed by gst. During reassembly of the interior after the overhead entertainment system installation, a trim panel securing clip may have been reused instead of being replaced.

Why it matters: If the clip was damaged during the entertainment system installation, in the event of a side curtain air bag deployment, the trim panel may detach and strike one of the vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Gst will notify owners, and dealers will replace the trim panel securing clip, free of charge. The recall began June 5, 2015.
