Known issues on the 2001 Sienna. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it is filed against the vehicle structure: the cable may break due to excessive corrosion and the spare tire may separate from the vehicle. The campaign covered certain model year 1998 through 2010 Sienna passenger vehicles manufactured between August 7, 1997 and January 4, 2010 and currently registered in or originally sold in Connecticut. Owners have filed 238 complaints against the 2001 Sienna, and 81 technical service bulletins have been issued for it.
The spare tire carrier and its cable are the first place to look for corrosion on a van of this age, and the 3.0L V6 keeps to the service intervals and specifications Toyota set for the 2001 Sienna rather than the ones used on later vans.
