NHTSA defect investigations
Electrical System:Propulsion System — Pedestrian alert sounds closed
NHTSA received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021. On January 27, 2023, NHTSA opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject mat

Whether any of this applies to one specific Sienna
A campaign covers a build range, not a model year, so two identical-looking cars from 2022 can differ. Both of these check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list, free, in about ten seconds. Toyota publishes its own lookup because federal rule 49 CFR 573.15 requires it to, and to keep it current to within seven days.
Hear about a recall before the letter does
The manufacturer’s letter is the last step of a recall: it has up to 60 days after filing to mail owners, at the address on the registration. We email you the day NHTSA posts a recall on the 2022 Toyota Sienna, with what to do next. Nothing else, ever — no newsletter, no marketing, one-click unsubscribe in every message.

Concern 1: My 2022 Toyota Sienna intermittently experiences an unexpected forward surge while braking. When I press the brake pedal to slow or stop the vehicle, I sometimes feel a sudden forward pushing or acceleration sensation before the vehicle slows down.
I am reporting a potential safety issue involving the passenger-side power sliding door on a 2022 Toyota Sienna. On XXX, my child was outside the vehicle in a wagon while the passenger-side sliding door was closing.
Stitching on the driver seat is tearing. Under normal wear. The vehicle is just out of the 3 year/36,000 warranty period. If the seat continues to degrade it will not be safe for future use as it worsens
The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Sienna Hybrid.

The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure.
When purchased "As Is", an airbag deployment was disclosed but not that the front passenger side airbag had not been replaced. In December of 2025, an SRS Airbag warning appeared. Upon inspection, the mechanic discovered a "resistor" had been inserted in the SRS cirucuity to avoid disclosure of the absence of a replacement airbag.
The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Sienna Hybrid. The contact stated while closing the sliding door, there was no safety mechanism to stop the door from closing on a person or object. The contact stated that approximately four months ago, her eldest son was entering the vehicle, he became stuck between the door and the door frame.

From the manufacturer’s own filing
The reporting entity’s narrative as NHTSA published it, with anything identifying removed and nothing added. A narrative is a notice, written before the entity had verified what happened.
The May vehicle is approaching a lane change. It signals the lane change appropriately early and begins to gradually decelerate for the change. The trailing SUV continues to accelerate while the May vehicle is simultaneously decelerating, and eventually changes lanes directly into the May vehicle.
May vehicle was parked in autonomous mode at a rider stop when a VRU on a bicycle approached from the north, coming towards the vehicle. Bicycle was on the wrong side of the road and appeared to be weaving. There were no other vehicles nearby and the bicycle had significant room to avoid the May vehicle.
While in traffic and stopped at 0mph in autonomy, a motorized scooter riding between the 2 lanes of traffic clipped the May Mobility vehicle's mirror with their own mirror. The scooter proceeded along its way, seemingly unaware of the mirror clip
A report under the General Order is a notice the manufacturer or operator must file within days of hearing of a crash in which a Level 2 driver-assist or automated-driving system was engaged within 30 seconds of impact. It is filed before anything is verified, and entities with telematics hear of far more crashes than entities that rely on complaints, so counts say as much about the reporting as about the car and are not comparable across makes.

A service bulletin is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a known condition. It is not a recall, not a finding that the vehicle is defective, and the work is not automatically free — though a bulletin is often what a dealer works from when you describe a symptom, so quoting the document number can save a diagnosis. The count is every communication filed; the list shows the most recent, one entry per campaign, because a single campaign is usually filed as several documents on the same day. The summaries are NHTSA's; the full documents come from the manufacturer.
Diagnostic trouble codes on file

|---|---|---|---|
| B15DB B15DB on Toyota → | Manufacturer-defined — the meaning is set by the automaker, not the standard. | Equipment | 1 bulletin |

Generic codes (the second character is 0 or 2) mean the same thing on every vehicle sold in the United States. Manufacturer-specific codes (1 or 3) mean whatever the automaker assigned, and no honest source can define them for you — which is why the ones here carry the evidence instead of a definition. A code is a link when enough separate federal documents name it across the catalogue to be worth a page of its own; the rest are listed here, where the vehicle is the context that makes them mean something.

At the New York inspection station

New York’s emissions test on these model years is an on-board diagnostics check: it fails a car whose check-engine light is on or whose self-tests have not finished. First inspections only, so a car that failed and came back is counted once; private and special plates, not taxis, livery or commercial plates. A rate appears only where at least 200 inspections stand behind it. “Every 2022 vehicle” is every 2022 model-year car, SUV and pickup inspected in the same window, all makes. This is the state’s record of test results, not a reliability score by itself. Source: New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, Vehicle Inspections (data.ny.gov, Open NY terms).
Sienna by model year
all years, side by side →Common questions about the 2022 Sienna
Source: EPA, NHTSA and manufacturer press kitsDoes the 2022 Toyota Sienna have any recalls?
NHTSA has posted 4 recall campaigns for the 2022 Toyota Sienna. The most serious on file is 25V877000, covering Equipment Adaptive/Mobility. Check your own VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls; a recall applies to specific build ranges, not every car.
How safe is the 2022 Toyota Sienna?
NHTSA gave the 2022 Toyota Sienna 5 stars overall in its New Car Assessment Program tests — 4-star frontal crash, 5-star side crash, 4-star rollover. WhichTrim also grades it C (76/100) on its recall record, which is a different question from crash protection.
What is the fuel economy of the 2022 Toyota Sienna?
Across the 2 EPA-rated configurations of the 2022 Toyota Sienna, the best EPA combined figure is 36 mpg. Figures are the EPA's own, per configuration, and every one is listed above.
What do owners complain about on the 2022 Toyota Sienna?
Owners have filed 22 complaints with NHTSA about the 2022 Toyota Sienna, most often about service brakes, visibility/wiper, electrical system. Of those, 1 involved a crash, 2 reported injuries. Complaints are unverified owner reports, so treat the pattern as a signal and the individual report as an anecdote.
How clean is the 2022 Toyota Sienna?
The EPA smog rating for the 2022 Toyota Sienna is 7 out of 10. That score covers tailpipe pollutants other than greenhouse gases, and it only compares vehicles within the same model year. It is certified for all fifty states, so it can be registered new anywhere in the U.S. Its configurations were certified to different standards — California LEV-III SULEV30, Federal Tier 3 Bin 30 — which the table above lists per configuration.
Are there service bulletins for the 2022 Toyota Sienna?
The manufacturer has filed 132 service bulletins and related communications with NHTSA for the 2022 Toyota Sienna, most often covering electrical system, engine, structure. The most recent is dated 2026-08-20. A bulletin is not a recall: it is the repair procedure a manufacturer sends its dealers for a condition it knows about, and the work is not automatically paid for. It is still worth knowing — if the symptom matches, quoting the bulletin number at the service desk can save a diagnosis. The document numbers and summaries are listed above.
How does the 2022 Toyota Sienna do at state inspection?
In New York’s inspection lanes over the 12 months to Oct 10, 2026, the 2022 Toyota Sienna failed the emissions check on 0.98% of first inspections — lower than the 1.7% for every 2022 model-year vehicle inspected; and the safety inspection on 1.5% (every 2022 vehicle: 1.4%). The figures are New York State DMV’s own inspection records, first inspections only, and the table above sets each one against every vehicle of the same model year.

Sources & method
Safety Signal starts every model-year at 100 and subtracts points per open NHTSA recall campaign by severity: critical 15 (fire risk, park-outside or do-not-drive advisories), high 8 (brakes, steering, airbags, loss of drive power, structure, battery), moderate 6, minor 3 (software, labels, lighting fixed by an update). The most serious recall counts in full and each further one counts 85% of the one before, because a vehicle sold in millions is recalled more often than a rare one without being more dangerous — and because a flat subtraction bottomed the scale out, scoring a vehicle with 22 recalls within a point of one with six. A ≥ 90, B ≥ 80, C ≥ 70, D ≥ 60, otherwise F. Read it as what it counts: recall campaigns on the federal record, weighted by severity. The damping reduces the sales bias by roughly 40% but does not remove it: like our complaint counts, this is not normalized by how many were sold, so a best-seller still scores somewhat worse than an obscure model with the same real risk. NHTSA crash ratings, do-not-drive and park-outside advisories, and the crash, fire, injury and death counts in owner complaints are reported separately on every page and never blended into the letter — a vehicle can hold five stars and a poor letter at once, and where that happens we say so rather than leave you to notice. Because the scale subtracts from a clean sheet, a model year too new to have been recalled, complained about or bulletined scores full marks on an empty record; we label those grades provisional rather than present them as earned.
EPA figures come from fueleconomy.gov vehicle records. Recalls, complaints, investigations and crash ratings come from NHTSA's public flat files, refreshed nightly. Trim-level specifications and pricing are transcribed from the manufacturer's official press kit; every value carries its source in the data file.
