NHTSA Complaint #10716944 — 2008 TOYOTA SIENNA

RECEIVED LETTER ADVISING THAT UNDER RECALL 14V27300 MY 2008 TOYOTA SIENNA HAD A POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH THE CABLE, HOLDING THE SPARE TIRE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN THE FALL OF 2014 MY SPARE TIRE WAS RELOCATED TO THE LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT OF MY VAN WHICH RENDERED THE AREA UNUSABLE FOR FOLDING THE REAR SEATS DOWN TO USE THAT AREA FOR TRANSPORTING LARGER ITEMS. I CHECKED WITH MY LOCAL DEALER REGARDING A PERMANENT SOLUTION/REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD NOT YET RECEIVED NOTICE OF AND/OR REPAIR PARTS FOR THE IDENTIFIED PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO WAIT TO REGAIN FULL USE OF MY MINIVAN.
