| Description of the problem | Toyota has issued an "enhanced warranty" (technical service bulletin #07017, nhtsa item # 10023697) to cover a known quality defect. The front door-check weld may fail and allow the door to move freely over its entire range of motion without any resistance. There are only two ways to fix the problem: 1) if the break is not too bad you can re-weld the broken piece; 2) or, if the break is too bad then you must replace the entire door. The location of the break (internal to the door) has absolutely nothing to do with mileage and is not a load-bearing point beyond providing resistance to the movement of the door. Failure of this weld is not a warranty issue but is a known quality defect on the 2004-2007 sienna. Failure of this weld completely removes the resistance to the movement of the door. Based on the size and free-swinging weight of the door, there is the increased likelihood of additional body damage and this is a safety hazard. The weld on my driver |
