Official summary

Toyota has received reports regarding excessive electrical resistance in the Side Airbag connector of certain 2004 to 2009 Model Year Sienna vehicles. The connector could have been improperly crimped during the manufacturing process. In certain cases, oxidization buildup in the connector can occur resulting in illumination of the airbag warning lamp.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
