The 2001 Toyota Camry has two recalls, the more serious being a front subframe assembly where inadequate welds can fail over time and raise the risk of a crash.
The second recall affects vehicles equipped with aftermarket heated seats: the copper strand heating element in the seat can short circuit if damaged, creating a fire risk inside the cabin.
