Recall Alerts: 2008 Saturn Vue, 2006-09 Toyota Sienna, 2009 Lexus GX, 2004 Toyota Land Cruiser
Jul 01 2009 by Jennifer Newman
GM is recalling 44,451 Saturn Vues from the 2008 model year because of a problem with body-colored door handles, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The door handles could stick or bind and cause the door not to latch when closed. This could lead to an unbelted occupant falling out of the SUV, increasing the chance of injury.
Saturn dealers will replace the body-colored door handles with chrome door handles free of charge. For more information, owners can call Saturn at 800-972-8876 or NHTSA at 888-327-4236.
2006-09 Toyota Sienna, 2009 Lexus GX, 2004 Toyota Land Cruiser
Toyota is recalling 1,281 family vehicles, including the 2006-09 Sienna, 2004 Land Cruiser and 2009 Lexus GX, because of insufficient information on two labels in the cars, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Yes, it sounds ridiculous, but this incorrect information could — in theory — lead to a crash.
The vehicle capacity weight on the tire and loading information label and the gross vehicle weight rating on the certification label are incorrect. The vehicles in this recall fail to comply with federal standards.
Incorrect load-carrying capacity labels could lead to the vehicle being overloaded, which would increase the risk of a crash.
Owners can take their vehicle to a Toyota or Lexus dealership for an exchange of the certification label and the tire and loading information label. The owner’s manual will also be corrected. This will be performed free of charge. For more information, owners can call Toyota at 888-270-9371 or NHTSA at 888-327-4236.
