Is my product affected?

2010 TOYOTA CAMRY

  • Brand TOYOTA

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Toyota is recalling certain 2010 Camrys equipped with a 4-cylinder engine because the power steering pressure hose may be too short. This can cause insufficient spacing between the hose crimp and the brake tube for the left rear brake, which may lead the brake tube to wear and perforate over time. A perforated brake tube can result in brake fluid leakage that may reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.

Toyota will notify owners of the recall and dealers will replace or adjust the brake tube at no charge. The recall began on March 4, 2010. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
