The 2007 Toyota Camry has 5 recalls, the most serious being fire risks from two separate sources: the power window master switch can overheat and melt, and certain aftermarket heated seats have a copper heating element that can short circuit.
On the throttle side, the accelerator pedal can become difficult to press, slow to return to idle, or mechanically stick in a partially depressed position, which can make the vehicle hard to slow down. There is also an airbag concern: certain side, curtain, and knee airbag inflators were assembled with too little propellant, meaning those airbags may not deploy with enough force in a crash, raising the risk of injury to occupants in the affected seating positions. Note that the heated seat recall applies only to vehicles equipped with aftermarket seat heaters distributed through Southeast Toyota Distributors.

What can fail
Power window master switches were lubricated using an imprecise process that created irregularities. These irregularities can cause the switches to malfunction and overheat.
What the fix does
Dealers will inspect the switch and apply special heat-inhibiting grease, or replace damaged switches at no cost to you.

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.

What can fail
Due to improper assembly, some air bag inflators contain insufficient heating agents. During a crash, the air bag may not inflate with enough force to deploy properly.
What the fix does
Dealers will replace the affected air bag assembly.
