You’re probably not rushing out to purchase a Toyota Sienna in the United States for import into Canada, but there’s yet another recall that’ll require a note from Ma’
The Sienna’s manufacturer suggested retail price in the United States is $24,260 compared to $28,900 in Canada for a 2011 Model (2011 Model Years are NOT affected). The Toyota Sienna’s manufactured in Princeton, Indiana, for the North American Market so you’re free and clear of Import Duty.
Toyota’s Red Tag Days don’t apply to the Sienna, so there’s probably some instances where you can make the prices work to your advantage. As is generally the case, the higher the trim level, the greater the disparity between the Canadian and American prices.
On that note, I’m not going to lie, the Toyota Sienna commercials are some of the best commercials out there right now.
Anyways, if you’ve purchased an American Sienna from 1998-2010 model lines and driven the car in northern climates, this recall applies to you. Some 600K Sienna’s apparently have a ample room for road-salt to sneak up behind the spare-tire and eat away at the cable. Spare-tires falling off at highway speeds tends to be a problem.
The recall applies to 20 states — basically, if you get snow, you’re included — and owners are urged to bring their Siennas in for an inspection.
