Don't just rely on the app to see if your van is included. It does not show up in my app (yet), but on the Toyota site (Which NHTSA re-directed me to), it does for my VIN.

Go here: Lookup Safety Recalls & Service Campaigns or here: Recalls | NHTSA

(As I write this the NHTSA site is not properly responding, but the Toyota site is).

There is no fix yet, so drive safe.

I've had a deposit on a Sienna for 2 months now, and check local dealer sites often. I noticed yesterday that my local dealer that had 3 Siennas in inventory, is now showing none. I'm guessing that they had to pull them until the recall is fixed. Unfortunately this will probably further delay things for me (and others waiting) as all units in production and completed with production/in transit, will need this recall done, prior to showing up as for sale.
At least it looks like an easy fix with a software update.

Much more likely is they were already spoken for, got published to the site automatically, then taken down when their system updated their status from Incoming instead to Sold.

Just make sure VSC [visually check MID] is on as part of normal routine until there is a fix.

How would you check if VSC is on, or is it that assume it is on unless you see a light that indicates VSC off?

The way I understand it is that VSC OFF indicator turn on when first start Sienna and then should stay off.
Basically make sure VSC OFF lights up when start and then lights off after a few seconds. Both important.

The indicator is pic of a vehicle with two squiggly lines underneath and "OFF" underneath lines.

From manual:

VSC OFF indicator*3, 5 (P.336)

*3:The light comes on when the system is turned off.
*5:These lights turn on when the power switch is turned to ON to indicate that a system check is being performed. They will turn off after the hybrid system is on, or after a few seconds. There may be a malfunction in a system if the lights do not turn on, or turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

My 2017 Sienna was totaled last spring. We put a down payment on a 2021 (2022 models were just about to come out) also and we received it in July. It was so worth the wait. This is now our 3rd Sienna since 2008 and we are very, very happy. We haven't taken it on a trip yet, so all of our miles are city and I get an average of 35-37 mpg. Of course it is a hybrid and is FWD. I hope you like your new van as much as we do. What color did you order?

Received over the air update today morning and not seeing the recall notice on the app now, i hope recall issue is fixed now.

Thought there was some adjustments or re-calibration that needed to be done but great if OTA fixed; would be surprised if it did but never know.

Too bad us base trims don't have that OTA.

Don't think so. I did the update, and my app still shows the recall notice. It appears to be more of an interface update betwen the van and the app.

I called the dealer nearby and the service advisor on the phone told me that the fix for Recall 22TA03 (Interim Notice 22TB03) is not available yet.

Same here... most likely June.

Might depend on country and/or region.

this isn't good enough, as the issue is a bit complicated. if you turn the stability control off, and then turn off the van, the stability control remains off, but the light indicating its off does not turn back on upon turning the van back on. I know this because I had it happen to me. I was glad I could finally disable the "no fun mode" and slide my awd van around a bit in the snow without the stability taking away controls from me. To get it to turn back on, you have to actually hit the button to turn it off, which will light up the light on the dash again, and then hit it again to turn it back on, which will "reset" the computer into turning it back on. unless you do this, the stm stays "off" until you do this procedure.

Do you hear the engine noise of Sienna 2021? Is it is bigger Sienna 2017? I drove a RAV4 2013 and I heard the engine noise of my Sienna 2022 is louder than my rav4.
