Seat belt on other Sienna Hybrid years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2022, 2026.
What this problem usually is
This group covers the belt and the seat it's bolted to: buckles that won't latch or won't let go, belts that lock up and won't pull out, and seats that shift or rock in their tracks. It's a wide bucket, with over 9,000 complaints across the vehicles on this site, and a quarter of them mention a recall.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the seat frame or track (39 reports).
Recalls and investigations
2 recalls on the seats cover the 2025 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
The second-row seat rails may be welded improperly.
The bolts for the seatbacks on the third-row seat assemblies may not be tightened properly.

When it happens
Too few of these reports state a mileage to give a range.
What owners wrote
“Open recall with no anticipated date of being fixed. The second row seats are unsafe for passengers which makes the vehicle unusable for a family.”
Filed Jan 23, 2026
“They stated the second row is not safe in a high speed collision because they could eject. Iâve been using a rental for 3 months with no end insight. They stated they would have a timeline by 12/6 but that has yet to happen. My car is sitting at the dealership out in the elements for the unforeseeable future.”

“Relatively new Toyota Sienna, bought 6 weeks ago and currently at 1300 miles. Passenger side 2nd row seat belt inexplicably became stuck and would not retract, making that seat unusable as the seat belt was no longer able to safely restrain a passenger. No accidents or unusual incidents were noted. This was completely unexpected and random following a routine short-distance errand.”

“The seats have had an excessive rattling noise since buying the car, dealer was informed and was told that it was expected. Now there has been a safety recall with no remedy in sight for over two months. Not being able to use the middle seats on a brand new car for this long is unnacceptable.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 214 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
