Do recalls affect what the Camry costs to own?

No direct cost. A recall is a free remedy: the manufacturer must repair the defect at no charge, so an open or completed recall adds nothing to the 5-year cost of ownership.
Resale is the one caveat. An unrepaired recall can make a used Camry harder to sell or trade in — a buyer or dealer may want it fixed first — but the fix itself is still free, and completing it removes that friction.

Recalls & complaints — FAQ

How many recalls does the Toyota Camry have?

As of July 10, 2026, NHTSA lists 17 recall campaigns for the Toyota Camry (MY 2017–2026). Each is a free remedy — the manufacturer repairs the defect at no cost. The full dated campaign list is above.

What is the most serious Camry recall?

The most safety-critical is campaign 23V432000 (June 15, 2023, Wheels): A wheel that detaches from a moving vehicle can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA attached a “do not drive” (Park It) advisory, urging owners not to drive until the free repair is done.

How do I check if my Camry has an open recall?

Enter your 17-character VIN at NHTSA’s free recall lookup, nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows any open (unrepaired) recall for your exact vehicle, and recall repairs are always free at a franchised dealer.

Do recalls make the Camry cheaper or more expensive to own?

Neither, directly — recall repairs are free, so they add nothing to the cost of ownership. An unrepaired recall can make a used one harder to resell, but our 5-year cost totals use market-level depreciation and are not adjusted per campaign. See the Camry cost to own.
