This complaint is submitted to supplement and clarify a prior NHTSA submission regarding Safety Recall 23TA15 for VIN [XXX] . The prior submission was brief and did not fully capture the timeline and circumstances described below. I purchased a 2021 Toyota Sienna (VIN [XXX] ) from Avondale Toyota on [XXX].

Structure · reported Jan 18, 2026

This caused exhaust leaks, loud exhaust noise, poor acceleration, and safety concerns including potential exhaust exposure.
