Toyota Camry Recalls

The Toyota Camry has 74 recalls spanning 1983 through 2026, with the most serious recent issue affecting 2025-2026 Hybrid models where a loose bolt inside the inverter causes incomplete electrical contact and can cut drive power without warning, raising the risk of a crash.

On 2025 models, the second-row center seat belt webbing can be damaged and may not restrain an occupant in a crash, a rearview camera software error can cause the display to freeze or go blank while reversing, and an instrument panel glitch can prevent critical information from appearing while driving. The 2023-2024 years have insufficiently welded second-row head restraint brackets that can move or detach in a crash, and 2023 models specifically may have loose lug nuts from the factory that can lead to wheel detachment.

The 2020-2022 years carry a front passenger seat sensor miscalibration that can prevent airbag deployment in a crash. On 2020 models, porous engine castings can crack, leak coolant, and cause the engine to overheat and stall. The 2018-2020 model years have a fuel pump that can fail and stall the engine while driving. The 2018-2019 years also have a vacuum pump recall where an internal vane cap can break and cause sudden loss of brake assist. On 2018 V6 models, unseated fuel delivery pipes can leak fuel and create a fire risk. A 2017 recall covers a front passenger knee airbag attached with incorrect fasteners that can loosen and affect deployment. The 2016 model year has a front driveshaft that can separate and cut propulsion, and a passenger seat sensor issue that can suppress or misfire the airbag. On 2015 models, the electric power steering control unit can fail and cause a sudden loss of steering assist.

Going back further, 2014 models have a left front suspension lower arm that can separate from the ball joint and cause loss of control, plus a fuel delivery pipe weld that can leak fuel. The 2012 model year has a clogged AC drain that can let water reach the airbag control module and trigger an unintended deployment. On 2011 models, a damaged ball joint boot can allow the joint to loosen and separate from the knuckle. The 2010 model year has a power steering hose that can wear through the rear brake line and cause brake fluid loss. A separate recall covering 2007-2010 vehicles involves an accelerator pedal that can stick partially depressed or be slow to return to idle. The 2009 model year has a stop lamp switch that can disable the brake lights, and 2007-2009 vehicles have a power window master switch that can overheat and melt, creating a fire risk. On 2007 models, side, curtain, and knee airbag inflators may contain insufficient propellant and fail to fully deploy in a crash.

Earlier production from the 1990s and 2000s includes a 2002 airbag cover that can detach and strike the driver during deployment, a 2001 front subframe with inadequate welds that can fail over time, a 2000 rear axle shaft that can crack and break with extended use, and 1994-1996 steering wheel set nuts that can loosen and eventually allow the steering wheel to separate from the shaft.
