Toyota has issued a major safety recall affecting 228,367 Toyota Sienna Hybrid minivans in the United States due to a second-row seatback defect that could fail to remain secure during a crash. In a frontal collision, the forces from the seat belt pretensioner can cause the seatback to unlock and move, increasing the risk of injury to passengers.
