2017 Toyota Camry recalls
Incorrect tire load label may cause overloading
Crash riskThe vehicle's load capacity label may list the wrong figure, so the car could be loaded beyond what it safely carries. Overloading raises the risk of a crash, and the vehicle also does not meet federal tire and rim selection requirements.
Fix: The dealer will mail you a corrected label to place over the inaccurate one, free of charge.
Recall 19V503000 · Jun 2019Temporary / emergency spare tire
The spare tire air pressure was not adjusted to the proper pressure as stated on the Tire Pressure Label. A spare tire that is not inflated to the proper value may not perform as intended, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Gulf States will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the spare tires, adjusting their pressure as necessary, free of charge.
Recall 17V295000 · May 2017Passenger knee airbag may be loosely mounted
Injury riskThe front passenger knee airbag may have been attached to the dashboard with the wrong fasteners. Over time these can loosen, which could affect how the airbag deploys and raise the risk of injury in a crash.
Fix: The dealer will inspect the fasteners and, if needed, replace the instrument panel brace and body bracket and reattach the airbag assembly, free of charge.
