Buying a used 2018 Toyota Camry? Check these 8 recalls first
The heaviest recall record here: a V6 fuel line that may leak gasoline and a brake-assist loss are both critical, and five separate actions address fuel pumps that can stall the engine, one of which can also cut brake power assist. Oversized pistons causing stalling is another engine item. Owner complaints to NHTSA, which are unverified, run highest in power train, service brakes and engine, and include reports of crashes, injuries and fires.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Confirm whether this is the V6 and, if so, that the fuel line recall was repaired
- Get dealer records for every fuel pump recall — there are several
- Test drive watching for stalling, hard starts, or a heavy brake pedal
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
