Child Seat problem

Toyota Sienna 2011 top tether anchor bracket on the driver side 2nd row captain chair is too low for a top tether strap to hook on. The design of the 2nd row seats results in a lower anchor bracket on the driver side 2nd row seat as opposed to the passenger side 2nd row. Could result in parents disregarding warnings against not using a top tether if the car seat is equipped with one and creating an unsafe condition for the child. Van was purchased on 5/31; issue found the next day and reported to Toyota corporation on 6/2/2010. Told that no action would be taken based on my call as it was the first report of the problem.
