Recall 15V240 covers 387 2015 Toyota Sienna vehicles with a reused roof trim clip. Repair is free at any franchised Toyota dealer.
Toyota is recalling 387 2015 Sienna minivans equipped with non-Toyota overhead entertainment accessories because a reused trim panel clip can leave the panel unsecured after the accessory installation. If the side curtain air bag deploys, the trim panel can detach and strike an occupant, increasing injury risk; Toyota dealers will replace the clip free of charge.

What's wrong?
The recalled part is the front pillar garnish clip on the 2015 Toyota Sienna with a non-Toyota Rear Seat Entertainment Package installed by Gulf States Toyota or its dealers. The front pillar garnish is the interior trim along the side of the windshield and roof area. Its clip holds that trim panel in place after the overhead entertainment system wiring and interior pieces are reassembled.
The problem starts with the installation instructions for the entertainment package. Those instructions said the front pillar garnish clip could be reused after removal, when the clip should have been replaced. A reused clip does not provide the intended hold, so the trim panel is not secured the way Toyota designed it after the accessory installation.
There is no warning sign before failure. The panel can look properly installed after the entertainment system work, so a visual check does not confirm that the correct clip is installed or that the old clip was replaced.

What's the safety risk?
A damaged trim panel securing clip can let the trim panel detach during a side curtain air bag deployment. The loose panel can strike an occupant and increase the risk of injury. Schedule the recall repair so the clip is replaced. Repair is free at any franchised Toyota dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015 Toyota Sienna is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Toyota dealer to schedule the free trim-panel securing clip replacement for the overhead entertainment system area.
- Bring the recall notice if Toyota mailed one. If not, reference recall number 15V240 when you call.
- Keep the interior trim in place until the repair is complete; do not remove or reinstall the overhead entertainment trim yourself.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Toyota technician replaces the trim panel securing clip tied to the overhead entertainment accessory installation and checks that the interior trim is secured correctly after the repair. The replacement parts and labor are free under the recall. If you already paid for this clip-related repair, Toyota says appropriate reimbursement is available if a claim arises. Keep repair documentation and ask the service desk or Toyota customer service how to submit it.
