Takata airbag recall on other Camry years

Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024.

What this problem usually is

This is the narrower sheet inside airbag problems for complaints about inflator recalls, Takata's above all. Many owners here aren't describing a failure they've seen. They're describing a recall notice, a dealer who doesn't have the part, and the question of whether the car is safe to drive in the meantime.

What got replaced

Few of these reports name the part that was replaced.

Recalls and investigations

One recall on the airbags covers the 2020 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.

What owners wrote

“The Airbag recall on select Toyota Camry. The manufacturer of the airbags in Japan are said to be defective. I have not received new sensors that are on back order. Seatbelt sensors continue to go off, unless they are clicked in all seats. I already had the car fixed twice, they won’t lean to fix the car again. It’s all political financially. The onboard Safety SOS may also be defective in these models.”

“This is the Recall I am speaking about 23V865 for the 2020 Toyota Camry. This is a serious safety risk that I would like to have resolved. I drive around with my family and younger siblings and don't want there safety at risk. It's been 20 months since it was issued and there is no solution! This shouldn't still be any issue after 20 months.”

Should you keep driving it?

This page can't tell you that. 1 of 35 reports involved a crash and 2 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.

File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
