The 2006 Toyota Camry has 3 recalls, the most serious being a stuck accelerator pedal that can become hard to press, slow to return to idle, or mechanically fixed in a partially depressed position, raising the risk of a crash.
On certain vehicles equipped with aftermarket heated seats, the copper heating element inside the seat can short circuit and start a fire. The third recall involves a misprint on the tire and loading information label on the driver's side door pillar, where the spare tire size is listed incorrectly. An owner relying on that label could inflate the spare to the wrong pressure or miscalculate load limits, which can lead to a tire failure.

What can fail
The friction lever inside the accelerator pedal sensor assembly can become smooth during normal use. When condensation forms on the worn surface—such as from using the heater without air conditioning on a cold pedal—friction increases. This can make the pedal harder to press, slower to return, or in severe cases, mechanically stuck in a partially depressed position.
What the fix does
Dealers will install a reinforcement bar in the accelerator pedal to restore smooth operation. This service is performed free of charge.
