Toyota is recalling 94,126 2011 Sienna minivans because the stop lamp switch bracket near the parking brake pedal can be damaged during parking brake use. The damage can cause brake drag, noise, vibration, or a brake warning light, and reduced braking effectiveness raises crash risk; the Toyota dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The brake stop lamp switch on the 2011 Toyota Sienna is mounted to a bracket on the left side of the service brake pedal support assembly. That switch reads brake-pedal movement and turns on the rear brake lights when the driver presses the pedal. The bracket has to stay in the correct position so the switch and pedal line up.
On affected Sienna vehicles, the bracket sits close to the parking brake pedal. During parking brake application, the driver's foot can damage the bracket. If the bracket bends or shifts, the stop lamp switch no longer sits where Toyota intended, so the brake lights do not respond correctly when the service brake pedal is used.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not count on a dashboard message or a change in pedal feel to show that the stop lamp switch bracket has been damaged.

Not every 2011 Toyota Sienna is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific minivan is included.
What's the safety risk?
Brake drag can cause brake noise, vibration, or a brake warning light. Reduced braking effectiveness increases the risk of a crash, so schedule service promptly and treat new brake warning lights, vibration, or unusual brake noise as a reason to stop and call the dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised Toyota dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2011 Toyota Sienna is included in this recall.
- Watch for Toyota's repair letter before scheduling the bracket replacement.
- Contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 or a franchised Toyota dealer with questions, and reference recall number 10V620 when you call.
- Bring the recall notice to the dealer if Toyota mailed one.
- Avoid hard braking and leave extra following distance if you keep driving before the brake stop lamp switch bracket repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Toyota technician replaces the bracket assembly tied to the brake stop lamp switch near the service brake pedal support. The final dealer repair will be free once Toyota confirms parts and campaign handling for the VIN. Toyota's notice sequence for this campaign was an interim owner letter first, followed by a second owner letter when repair parts were ready. Parts and labor are covered by the recall once the repair is open for that vehicle.
