On the 2007-2010 Toyota Camry 2GR-FE 3.5L V6, toyota Limited Service Campaign 90K covered certain, not all, 2007-2010 Camrys with the 2GR-FE V6. Toyota said the rubber portion of the VVT-i actuator oil-supply hose could degrade over time and leak, potentially producing abnormal engine noise or an oil-pressure warning. The campaign required VIN eligibility confirmation and expired on December 31, 2021. Toyota's documented campaign part was No. 1 Oil Hose Kit 04009-33131; technical instructions show an improved hose and clamps, so the prior statement that Toyota's campaign installed all-metal pipe 15772-31030 was incorrect.

This issue also affects: Lexus ES, Lexus GS

Common Symptoms

  • Oil leaking from the VVT-i oil-supply hose
  • Oil-pressure warning light
  • Abnormal engine noise associated with oil loss
  • Rapidly falling engine-oil level

How to Fix

Check the VIN's campaign history through Toyota and inspect the VVT-i oil hose and engine-oil level. If the oil-pressure warning appears, a large leak develops, or abnormal engine noise begins, shut the engine off and arrange service rather than continuing to drive. Because LSC 90K has expired, do not promise a free repair. Have a Toyota dealer or qualified technician identify the current VIN-correct service parts and inspect for lubrication damage if the engine ran low. Do not order the previously listed all-metal pipe or gasket searches as though they were Toyota's campaign remedy.

Owner tips & cautions

  • WarningAn oil-pressure warning or sudden large oil loss requires immediate shutdown; driving further can turn a hose repair into engine damage.
  • TipAsk Toyota for the VIN's LSC 90K completion history before paying for repeat work, while recognizing that the campaign itself expired in 2021.

On the 2002-2017 Toyota Camry, owner discussions document drain-plug leaks or damaged threads after oil service on individual Camrys. This is a service-related condition, not evidence of a sixteen-year model defect. A leak at the plug can involve a missing or reused gasket, plug damage, dirt, sealing-face damage, incorrect torque, cross-threading, cracked or deformed pan material, or oil traveling from above.

Common Symptoms

  • Fresh oil at the drain plug after service
  • Drain plug will not tighten normally
  • Damaged or missing drain-plug gasket
  • Visible thread or sealing-face damage

How to Fix

Confirm the leak source, then inspect the plug, gasket, sealing face, pan material, and threads. Choose repair only after measuring the damage and checking wall thickness, alignment, and chip-control requirements. Do not install an oversize or self-tapping plug or insert from this page without a qualified assessment and the exact service procedure.

On the 2007-2011 Toyota Camry, toyota T-SB-0192-12 addresses an intermittent P0335 on specified 2007-2009 Camry 2AZ-FE and 2007-2011 Camry Hybrid 2AZ applications. The bulletin applies only when freeze-frame data shows the engine at approximately 185°F or above and near idle below 1,000 rpm; otherwise Toyota directs normal repair-manual diagnosis. The documented condition concerns the intake camshaft timing gear, not a blanket crankshaft- or camshaft-position-sensor failure. Toyota also notes that battery voltage below 11 volts can contribute to P0335 or P0340 and must be corrected first.

Common Symptoms

  • Intermittent malfunction indicator lamp
  • DTC P0335 stored with hot near-idle freeze-frame data

How to Fix

Confirm the VIN/VDS and powertrain, preserve freeze-frame data, and test the 12-volt battery and supply voltage before replacing parts. Apply T-SB-0192-12 only when P0335 occurred at the bulletin's operating-temperature and near-idle gates; the Toyota procedure then installs the improved intake camshaft timing gear and completes the specified timing work. If those gates do not match, or another code such as P0340 is present, follow the repair manual. Do not order either prior position sensor from this card.

Owner tips & cautions

  • TipSave freeze-frame temperature, engine speed and battery voltage before clearing P0335; those values determine whether T-SB-0192-12 applies.
  • WarningDo not replace a crankshaft or camshaft position sensor from the code alone. Toyota's exact bulletin repair is an intake camshaft timing gear after VIN/VDS and freeze-frame gates are satisfied.

On the 2002-2011 Toyota Camry, owner and how-to discussions describe throttle-body cleaning during troubleshooting of idle or starting concerns. They do not establish faster-than-normal deposit buildup or prove that deposits cause every rough or high idle, stall, hesitation, or pedal-to-start event. Battery voltage and relearn state, air leaks, PCV flow, MAF data, fuel delivery, ignition, compression, temperature inputs, throttle actuation, and ECM logic can produce overlapping symptoms.

Common Symptoms

  • Rough or unstable idle
  • Unexpectedly high idle
  • Stalling or difficult starting
  • Hesitation with no confirmed cause

How to Fix

Record stored codes and scan data, check battery and charging voltage, inspect the complete induction system for leaks, and follow Toyota's exact engine diagnostic procedure. Inspect the throttle bore only when the symptom and data support it. If cleaning is selected, use the applicable service instructions and do not force an electronic throttle plate or spray solvent into electronics.

On the 2010-2012 Toyota Camry 2AR-FE 2.5L I4, toyota T-SB-0041-13 Rev1 covers certain 2010-2012 Camry vehicles equipped with the 2AR-FE and within its WMI, VDS and production-VIN gates. The condition is a brief knock or rattle, approximately one second, immediately after a cold-soak startup. Toyota's repair is replacement of the intake camshaft timing gear assembly after confirming applicability. The bulletin does not identify P0016 or P0012, stalling, broken internal lobes, debris contamination or a nine-year 2009-2017 scope.

This issue also affects: Lexus LX

Common Symptoms

  • Brief knock or rattle for approximately one second immediately after a cold-soak startup

How to Fix

Reproduce and record the brief noise after a true cold soak, then verify the engine, WMI, VDS and production VIN against the current Toyota bulletin. Rule out oil level/grade, extended cranking and other engine or accessory noises. Apply T-SB-0041-13 Rev1 only when every vehicle and symptom gate matches; the timing-system repair is a technician procedure. Diagnose any stored P0016/P0012 separately under the repair manual rather than using this bulletin as proof of a broken phaser.

Owner tips & cautions

  • TipCapture the first cold-soak start on video and note duration; the Toyota bulletin describes an approximately one-second knock/rattle immediately after startup.
  • WarningDo not use P0016 or P0012 alone to invoke this bulletin. Confirm 2AR-FE, WMI, VDS, production VIN and the exact cold-start symptom first.

On the 2007-2011 Toyota Camry, toyota's historical Warranty Enhancement ZTT addressed certain 2007-2011 Camry and Camry Hybrid sun-visor assemblies and brackets, and T-SB-0093-09 provides the model-specific removal/installation method. A visor that drops or will not remain stored can obstruct the driver's view, but the failed element may be the visor assembly, bracket, fastener or headliner attachment. ZTT was not a recall and its time-limited warranty extension is no longer current.

Common Symptoms

  • Sun visor will not remain in its closed/stored position
  • Sun visor or bracket hangs into the driver's view

How to Fix

Move or secure a visor that obstructs visibility before driving. Inspect the visor pivot/retention, bracket, fasteners, headliner attachment and any mirror-light wiring. Use T-SB-0093-09's removal/installation method and identify the exact side, color and electrical option by VIN before replacement. A dealer can check service history, but do not present historical ZTT as free current coverage and do not order the prior three applications from this card.

Owner tips & cautions

  • WarningA visor hanging in the driver's sight line should be safely moved or secured before the vehicle is driven.
  • TipZTT was a historical warranty enhancement, not a recall; verify side, color, mirror wiring and VIN application before buying a visor.

On the 2002-2011 Toyota Camry, camry owner discussions document headliner fabric detaching on individual vehicles. Loose fabric can reflect degraded backing or adhesive, moisture intrusion, board damage, prior trim removal, or hardware around lamps, handles, and a sunroof. The reports do not establish that all 2002-2011 cars share one defect or progression.

Common Symptoms

  • Headliner fabric hangs or separates
  • Loose material approaches an occupant or sight line
  • Detachment near edges, lamps, handles, or a sunroof

How to Fix

If loose material blocks visibility or contacts occupants, secure the vehicle and arrange trim inspection before driving. Check for water intrusion and damage to the board, retainers, wiring, side-curtain-airbag areas, and sunroof hardware before choosing localized repair, professional re-covering, or exact-application assembly replacement. Avoid pins or aerosol adhesive near wiring, airbags, or unseen hardware.

On the 2007-2011 Toyota Camry, toyota T-SB-0039-15 documents some 2007-2011 Camry and Camry Hybrid vehicles, within specified VIN ranges, whose instrument-panel pad can become sticky, shiny, degraded or cracked after heat, humidity and light exposure. Aftermarket dashboard dressings can also create a shiny appearance and must be distinguished during inspection. Customer Support Program ZJA was narrower, covering specified 2010-2011 Camry and 2009-2011 Camry Hybrid vehicles; its primary coverage ended November 26, 2019 and its secondary coverage was ten years from first use, so the published time limits are expired as of 2026.

This issue also affects: Lexus ES, Lexus GS

Common Symptoms

  • Instrument-panel pad feels sticky
  • Instrument panel appears unusually shiny
  • Surface is degraded or cracked
  • Glare or reflection from the affected panel

How to Fix

Confirm the model year, VIN range, surface condition and whether an aftermarket dressing caused the appearance. For a bulletin-matching degraded panel, Toyota's repair procedure replaces the instrument-panel pad and related one-time-use items as specified. Ask a Toyota dealer to check the VIN for any current assistance, but do not represent CSP ZJA as active. Avoid solvent or protectant experiments on the affected surface, and do not buy a dashboard cover from this card as a substitute for diagnosis.

Owner tips & cautions

  • WarningDo not apply alcohol, solvent or dressing before inspection; Toyota notes that aftermarket dressing can create a shiny appearance that must be distinguished from the bulletin condition.
  • TipHave Toyota check the VIN and first-use date, but expect CSP ZJA's published coverage periods to be expired as of 2026.

On the 2010-2017 Toyota Camry 2AR-FE 2.5L I4, a coolant mark at the 2AR-FE water pump does not by itself prove that the pump has failed. Toyota T-SB-0103-20 Rev1 applies to 2008-2024 Camry and says a small amount of coolant can pass the mechanical seal and leave dry residue after it evaporates. Replacement is supported when the pump has an active wet leak, the reservoir is low and the pump is actively leaking, or the pulley/bearing has excessive free play or does not turn smoothly. The bulletin does not establish a recurring Camry weak point or a 60,000-90,000-mile failure range.

Common Symptoms

  • Wet coolant or active drips at the water pump
  • Coolant reservoir below the low mark with an active pump leak
  • Excessive water-pump pulley or bearing free play
  • Water-pump bearing that feels rough or does not rotate smoothly
  • Dry coolant residue that must be distinguished from an active leak

How to Fix

Inspect the rest of the cooling system before condemning the pump. Check reservoir level, pulley/bearing play and smoothness, and press a dry paper towel against cleaned pump-area residue. Dry residue alone does not require replacement; wet coolant, an active drip, excessive bearing play, or rough rotation does. If replacement is confirmed, use the model-year repair procedure and verify the pump and separately sold gasket by VIN. Toyota lists exact pump assembly 16100-09515, but the part page itself requires a vehicle-fitment check. Do not automatically replace the belt, tensioner, thermostat, or coolant as separate failures without inspecting them.

On the 2007-2017 Toyota Camry 2GR-FE 3.5L V6, a coolant mark near the 2GR-FE water pump does not by itself establish pump failure. Toyota T-SB-0103-20 Rev1 applies to Camry beginning with model year 2008 and explains that normal mechanical-seal operation or temporary debris can leave dry residue. Replacement is supported by an active wet leak, low reservoir level together with an active pump leak, excessive pulley or bearing free play, or a bearing that does not turn smoothly. For a 2007 Camry, use the applicable model-year repair manual; the bulletin does not establish the prior prevalence or very-low-mileage failure claims.

This issue also affects: Lexus ES

Common Symptoms

  • Wet coolant or active drips at the water pump
  • Low coolant reservoir together with an active pump leak
  • Excessive water-pump pulley or bearing free play
  • Water-pump bearing that feels rough or does not rotate smoothly
  • Dry pink residue that must be distinguished from a current leak

How to Fix

Inspect the full cooling system before condemning the pump. Check coolant level and other leak sources, test the pump bearing for free play and smooth rotation, clean the residue, and use a dry paper towel to determine whether coolant is still wet. Dry residue alone does not require replacement. If an active leak or bearing failure is confirmed, follow the model-year repair procedure and verify the pump and separately sold gasket by VIN. Toyota lists current pump 16100-09442 and previous version 16100-09441. Do not automatically add a thermostat, thermostat gasket, or coolant retail claim unless the actual service inspection and procedure require it.

On the 2007-2022 Toyota Camry, toyota T-SB-0080-19 Rev1 documents an environmental condition in particular geographic areas where an insect nest may obstruct the HVAC evaporator drain hose on some 2007-2022 Camry and Camry Hybrid vehicles. Reduced condensate drainage can contribute to water backing up at the HVAC case, but wet carpet alone does not prove this cause; windshield/body/cowl entry, A/C case or hose displacement and coolant leakage must be distinguished. The bulletin is not a recall and lists the optional service as not applicable to warranty.

Common Symptoms

  • Wet carpet near the HVAC case
  • Little or no evaporator condensate draining beneath the vehicle while the A/C operates

How to Fix

Identify the liquid and entry path before disturbing the HVAC drain. Check for normal condensate discharge while the A/C operates, inspect the drain hose/case connection and separately test windshield, cowl, body-seam, door and heater-core/coolant possibilities. If an insect nest obstructs a covered vehicle's drain, follow T-SB-0080-19 and the VIN-specific repair manual to remove the hose and install the optional ARINIX tip with the exact hose/grommet procedure required for production origin and model year. The tip contains pesticide and requires the bulletin's PPE/handling rules. Dry the carpet and underlay fully and inspect any wet connectors. Do not probe the case, flush it, or buy the prior cleaner/hose from this card.

Owner tips & cautions

  • WarningWet carpet is not proof of a clogged A/C drain. Identify the liquid and entry path so a windshield/body leak or heater-core coolant leak is not missed.
  • TipToyota's optional ARINIX tip contains pesticide and has model-specific hose and PPE requirements; use T-SB-0080-19 rather than probing or chemically flushing the HVAC case.

On the 2007-2017 Toyota Camry, toyota T-SB-0010-20 covers 2007-2017 Camry and Camry Hybrid HVAC odors naturally occurring from the system or related environmental factors. Outside/interior odors can accumulate on the evaporator and be released as its temperature changes; air fresheners, animals, dirt or trash may also contribute. Toyota says A/C-system odor is a normal characteristic and the maintenance procedure may reduce intensity but will not eliminate it. The bulletin does not identify mold growth as a confirmed defect.

Common Symptoms

  • Naturally occurring or environmental odor emitted from the HVAC vents

How to Fix

First determine whether the odor matches Toyota's naturally occurring/environmental condition; constant odor or debris-driven odor may require separate repair-manual diagnosis. For a matching condition, park with the HVAC in outside/fresh-air mode, replace the HVAC filter annually or every 10,000 miles with the specified charcoal filter, and, if odor persists, have the evaporator cleaned with Toyota's A/C refresher kit or equivalent on an annual/biannual schedule based on climate and preference. Do not spray generic chemicals through the drain or order the prior products from this card.

On the 2007-2011 Toyota Camry, an owner repair discussion documents rear clunking and a loose or fishtailing feel during multi-component troubleshooting. That outcome does not prove one common failed strut mount, bushing, link, arm, or damper across all cars. Similar sounds can come from cargo or spare-tire hardware, exhaust contact, brakes, a hub, spring seating, fasteners, or suspension wear.

Common Symptoms

  • Rear clunk or knock over bumps
  • Loose-feeling rear response
  • Rattle from the rear on rough pavement

How to Fix

Remove or secure cargo and spare-tire hardware, reproduce the noise under controlled conditions, and inspect fastener torque, witness marks, exhaust clearance, brakes, hubs, springs and seats, dampers, mounts, stabilizer links and bushings, and suspension-arm bushings with the suspension appropriately loaded. Replace only a measured loose, torn, leaking, worn, or damaged component; align the vehicle when the repair changes geometry.

On the 2007-2010 Toyota Camry 2GR-FE 3.5L V6, toyota T-SB-0001-10 Rev1 covers specified 2007-2009 Camry VDS BK46K and 2010 VDS BK3EK applications. P0138/P0158 may result from incorrect air-fuel-sensor response, and P0606 may also be present due to incorrect downstream O2-sensor operation. Toyota distinguishes these paths using the complete DTC set, freeze-frame air-fuel/O2 voltage and downstream O2 impedance, followed by circuit inspection. It does not describe every P0606 as a sensor fault or support the original 2AZ-FE, 2006-2012, VSC/TRAC or battery claims.

This issue also affects: Lexus ES

Common Symptoms

  • Malfunction indicator lamp with a covered combination of P0138, P0158 and/or P0606

How to Fix

Confirm the covered VDS/2GR-FE application and capture all DTCs plus freeze-frame data. Follow T-SB-0001-10 Rev1: use the specified air-fuel/O2 freeze-frame gates for P0138/P0158, and for a qualifying P0606 path verify O2 Sensor 2 voltage above 1.10 V and/or impedance above 300 ohms at normal operating temperature, then inspect the circuit for open, short or high resistance. Replace only the bulletin-identified sensor when every gate is met; otherwise continue repair-manual P0606 diagnosis. Do not buy the prior sensor from this card.

Owner tips & cautions

  • TipSave the complete DTC set and freeze-frame air-fuel/O2 values before clearing codes; the bulletin's path depends on the combination and measured data.
  • WarningDo not treat a standalone P0606 or a non-covered VDS/engine as an oxygen-sensor diagnosis. Follow the applicable repair manual instead.

On the 2008-2017 Toyota Camry, toyota Customer Support Program ZKG covers certain 2008-2017 Camry and Camry Hybrid vehicles originally factory-painted Blizzard Pearl 070 or Super White 040. Toyota describes sunlight over time degrading adhesion between the factory primer coat and base-metal electrodeposition layer, causing paint to peel from exterior metal body panels. CSP ZKG is not a safety recall and does not cover every paint defect, nonmetal panel or white Camry; collision damage, dents, deep scratches and deep rock chips may also affect coverage.

Common Symptoms

  • Factory Blizzard Pearl 070 or Super White 040 paint peels from an exterior metal body panel

How to Fix

Verify the factory paint code and contact an authorized Toyota dealer for VIN, date-of-first-use and condition eligibility. Only an authorized Toyota dealer, or a permitted Toyota Certified Collision Center under the program rules, can confirm coverage. If the condition is verified and still covered, Toyota repaints the specific affected panel rather than the entire vehicle. Published primary coverage periods have expired; secondary coverage is 10 years from first use, so do not promise current coverage without the VIN/date check. Do not buy the prior sanding/paint products or attempt touch-up before that assessment.

Owner tips & cautions

  • TipPhotograph the peeling, door-jamb paint code, VIN and date-of-first-use information before visiting the dealer; current eligibility depends on the exact vehicle and coverage clock.
  • WarningDo not sand, touch up or repaint the area before Toyota's coverage assessment, because the program requires condition verification and photographs.
