The 1999 Toyota Camry has two recalls, the more serious being a cruise control defect on V6 models where the accelerator cable can wear through and break, causing the throttle to either drop to idle unexpectedly or stick at its last position no matter what the driver does with the pedal.
The second recall applies only to vehicles fitted with certain aftermarket seat heaters. The copper heating element inside the seat can short circuit, raising the risk of a fire in the cabin.
