Toyota Sienna recall for spare tire carrier moved the spare tire to the luggage compartment of vehicle. The tire was removed from the underside of the vehicle, placed in a bag, and placed in the luggage compartment. The tire was not secured by service and is free to vibrate, shake, and roll when turning. This was to be a temporary fix, with the permanent solution to be determined by Toyota. It has been over 6 months from the release date of the recall and there is still no permanent solution, and there is no eta for a fix at this time, per the Toyota customer service center. This issue needs to be resolved as it is limiting the available luggage compartment space, and the movement of the unsecured spare tire is distracting. What requirements are there for closing out action items on recalls and for completing "permanent" fixes?

Spare tire underneath the van fell on road while driving while I was driving into a mall. Called Toyota customer service at 18003314331 about this issue. Although Toyota has acknowledged this problem and issued a warning, they refused to fix this issue. If this had happened on a highway, there could have been serious consequences.
