Description of the problem	Welds on front driver's side door failed, causing the panel to become loose where the door check strap is mounted. This is a known defective factory weld on some 2004-2006 toyota sienna models, as toyota motor sales usa inc. Already declared a special service campaign for identified vin number sequences. However, the service campaign had expired prior to this failure being diagnosed by the local toyota dealer. The local toyota dealer (san jose, ca) failed to properly diagnose early indications of the failure in 2008 when the owner noted abnormal sounds in the door. This toyota dealer simply lubricated the door instead of performing proper repairs. Ultimately, this failure results in the door swinging freely without any resistance normally offered by the door check strap, causing a safety hazard of the door slamming into a human body or limb, especially a child. Toyota motor sales usa inc. Should have performed a recall, without limitation on mileage or years of service, on all affected vehicles in the 2004-2006 model years on which the defective factory welds were known to have been made.
