To whom it may concern: regarding customer support program (zts): warranty enhancement for rear sliding door latch assemblies on certain 2004-2010my sienna vehicles and power sliding door cable assembly on certain 2004-2007my sienna vehicles. I am here to tell you that my 2009 sienna should have been covered by this warranty extension. A few years ago our cable snapped on the driver side door. I was told by my dealer and toyota customer service that my model year was not covered by the able assembly issue.
