Recall 18V130 affects 55 2018 Toyota Sienna vehicles for impact-related cracking in 10-spoke alloy wheels. Repair is free at any franchised Toyota dealer.
Toyota is recalling 55 2018 Sienna vehicles with 10-spoke alloy wheels from a specific production lot because improper cooling during manufacturing can leave the spokes vulnerable to impact cracks. If the spokes crack, the wheel can separate from the hub assembly, causing loss of vehicle control and increasing crash risk; Toyota dealers will replace the affected wheels free of charge.

What's wrong?
The 10-spoke alloy wheel on a 2018 Toyota Sienna supports the tire and carries the van's weight through the hub, spokes, and rim. It also keeps the tire seated while the suspension absorbs bumps and road impacts. The spokes are part of that load path, so they need solid metal with no weak spots inside.
On recalled Siennas, certain wheels from one supplier facility did not receive the correct cooling time during casting. Incorrect cooling settings left micro-porosity, meaning tiny voids inside the alloy. When the wheel takes an impact while driving, that weaker spoke area can crack instead of spreading the force through the wheel.
There is no warning sign before failure. A crack can start after an impact without a dashboard light or a clear change in how the van drives. If you find a cracked spoke after a road impact, stop using that wheel and have a Toyota dealer inspect it.

Not every 2018 Toyota Sienna minivan is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific minivan is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the wheels crack at the spokes, a wheel can separate from the hub assembly. That can cause loss of vehicle control and increase crash risk. NHTSA's filing does not list a warning sign before separation, so confirm your VIN and schedule dealer inspection. Repair is free at any franchised Toyota dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2018 Toyota Sienna is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Toyota dealer to schedule the free wheel inspection and wheel replacement for 10-spoke alloy wheels linked to spoke cracking.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, and reference recall number 18V130 when you call.
- Avoid hard road impacts until Toyota inspects the wheels, since cracked wheel spokes can separate the wheel from the hub.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Toyota technician inspects the 10-spoke alloy wheels and checks whether their production location puts them in the replacement group. Wheels that need replacement are replaced free under the recall. Parts and labor are covered. If you've already paid out of pocket for a wheel repair tied to this recall, Toyota's general reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Ask the service desk how to submit the paperwork under that plan.
