A 2015 Toyota Sienna wheelchair-accessible conversion van has two open, unremedied safety recalls related to its braking system: a Braun Corporation recall for incorrect tube nut fittings on the rear brake lines that can cause a pressure drop in the braking system, and a Vantage Mobility International recall for rear brake hoses that may be too short. There is no indication either recall has been completed on this vehicle. The vehicle has been operated as a paid passenger-transport service carrying elderly and disabled passengers, including persons with cognitive impairment, to and from medical and rehabilitation facilities. This commercial use places vulnerable passengers at safety risk given the unresolved brake-system recalls. The vehicle has not been inspected by a dealer, manufacturer, police, or insurance representative to the reporter's knowledge. No warning lamps or other symptoms are reported — this submission is based on the open-recall status visible in the NHTSA VIN lookup. Supporting documentation is available on request.
