2019 Toyota Camry recalls
Vacuum pump may fail, losing brake assist
Crash riskA small part inside the vacuum pump, the vane cap, can break and cause the pump to fail. If that happens, the brakes can suddenly lose their power assist, which raises the risk of a crash.
Fix: The dealer will repair or replace the vacuum pump, as needed, at no cost to you.

Fix: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel pump assembly with an improved one, free of charge. Owners of specific models were notified that remedy parts were available starting January 21, 2021.
Recall 20V682000 · Nov 2020Fuel pump may fail and stall engine

Recall 20V012000 · Jan 2020Occupant classification
The Occupant Classification System (OCS) may have been improperly calibrated, which may prevent the proper deployment of the front passenger air bag and knee air bag, in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection." In the event of a crash, if the air bags do not deploy as designed, the front seat passenger has an increased risk of an injury.
Fix: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will recalibrate the OCS, free of charge.
Recall 19V567000 · Aug 2019Incorrect 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 2019Tire load label may become unreadable
Crash riskThe load capacity label on the vehicle may fade until it cannot be read. Without it, the driver may not know the vehicle is overloaded, which raises the risk of a crash.
