The 2006 Toyota Camry Solara has two recalls, the more serious involving aftermarket seat heaters where a damaged copper heating element can short circuit and start a fire.
The second recall affects vehicles equipped with the 1MZ-FE or 3MZ-FE engine, where the power steering pump belt can slip off its pulley. If that happens, power steering assist cuts out and the steering wheel becomes significantly harder to turn, raising the risk of a crash.
