Since the majority of the Siennas effected have past their 3 year/36,000 mile warranty, Toyota is issuing a warranty enhancement to vehicles with up to 100,000 miles. Toyota is not calling the situation a recall.The warranty enhancement service is being performed due to a bad spot weld on the Sienna's front doors that could possibly fail, causing the doors swing freely and unexpectedly shut. Toyota will also reimburse those owners who have already had the problem fixed. The Japanese automaker will inform Sienna owners of the problem through a letter to be sent out on November 2.While Toyota isn't calling the situation a recall, it only adds to mounting quality concerns as the company attempts to become the world's largest automaker.<a href="http://www.leftlanenews.com/toyota-to-fix-600000-sienna-minivans.html" target="_blank">http://www.leftlanenews.com/toyota-to-fix-600000-sienna-minivans.html</a>Toyota fixing 600,000 Sienna doors, but it's not a recall mind you: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/toyota-fixing-600-000-sienna-doors-but-its-not-a-recall-mind-y/" target="_blank">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/toyota-fixing-600-000-sienna-doors-but-its-not-a-recall-mind-y/</a>Don't Call it a Recall: Toyota to Fix 600,000 Siennas: <a href="http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2007/10/dont-call-it-a-.html" target="_blank">http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2007/10/dont-call-it-a-.html</a>Toyota is on a roll!</blockquote>
