What's wrong?
The steering shaft extension on modified 2017-2020 Toyota Sienna vehicles is part of the steering column assembly. It connects the driver's steering wheel input to the rest of the steering system, so a turn at the wheel reaches the steering gear. That part has to stay rigid and properly aligned while the van is driven.
On affected Siennas, the extension was manufactured outside specification. An improper machining operation removed too much material from the wall of the extension, leaving the metal thinner than intended. That reduced wall thickness weakens the part. If the extension fractures, the steering column no longer transfers steering input as designed.
There is no warning sign before failure. The recall condition occurs without a noise, light, or steering feel change that an owner can rely on.
