On the 2018-2020 Toyota Camry, toyota's Denso low-pressure fuel-pump recall history includes certain 2018-2020 Camry vehicles under original NHTSA recall 20V012 / Toyota 20TA02 and a small omitted population of 2018 Camrys under 25V028 / 25TA01. An affected pump can stop operating, causing warning messages, rough running, engine stall and inability to restart; a stall at higher speed increases crash risk. Applicability depends on the VIN and specific pump population, not model year alone. The prior 2021 scope and recall numbers 20V750/21V251 were incorrect.

Common Symptoms

  • Warning lights or messages
  • Rough engine running
  • Engine stall
  • Engine may not restart after the pump stops

How to Fix

Check the VIN at Toyota's official recall lookup or with a Toyota dealer. If an applicable campaign is open, the dealer replaces the involved low-pressure fuel pump with an improved pump free of charge. If the engine runs rough, warning indicators appear or the vehicle begins losing power, move out of traffic and stop safely; if it stalls, do not rely on it restarting. Do not select a pump or treat P0087/P0230/P0231/P0232 as recall eligibility criteria from this card.

Owner tips & cautions

  • WarningRecall eligibility is VIN-specific. Do not buy a pump or infer inclusion from the model year, symptoms or a generic fuel-system DTC.
  • TipAsk Toyota to confirm both 20TA02/20V012 and 25TA01/25V028 status for the VIN and document completion of the free improved-pump remedy.

On the 2018-2024 Toyota Camry A25A-FKS 2.5L I4, toyota T-SB-0010-24 applies to 2018-2024 Camry vehicles with the A25A-FKS engine that misfire after a cold soak when engine-coolant temperature in freeze-frame data is 14-41 degrees F. The bulletin identifies P030027, P030000, P030100, P030200, P030300, and P030400. It does not authorize lash-adjuster replacement from a rough-start complaint alone: compression, spark plugs and coils, direct- and port-injector resistance, and the fuel system must first meet specification.

Common Symptoms

  • Cold-soak misfire with coolant freeze-frame temperature of 14-41 degrees F
  • Rough running immediately after an eligible cold soak
  • MIL with one or more exact T-SB-0010-24 misfire DTCs

How to Fix

Confirm that an exact listed DTC is present and that freeze-frame coolant temperature was 14-41 degrees F. Follow T-SB-0010-24 to verify cylinder compression, spark-plug and ignition-coil operation, direct- and port-injector resistance, and fuel-system operation. If every prerequisite is within specification and the bulletin's decision path is satisfied, replace all eight exhaust-side hydraulic lash adjusters and required one-time-use seals/gaskets using the bulletin and current VIN-specific parts information. Do not substitute a generic P0300 diagnosis, assume intake carbon is the cause, or order an old/superseding part number from this card.

Owner tips & cautions

  • TipSave the exact seven-character DTC and freeze-frame coolant temperature before clearing codes; both determine whether T-SB-0010-24 applies.
  • WarningThe bulletin requires compression, ignition, both injector systems, and fuel-system checks before eight lash adjusters are authorized, and it expressly says not to use superseding part numbers from its table.

On the 2020-2021 Toyota Camry, toyota T-SB-0095-20 applies to some 2020-2021 Camry and Camry Hybrid vehicles that may have a depleted 12-volt battery while the ignition is off. The same DCM firmware condition may also present with B15A804 in current or history, a red SOS LED that remains on after bulb check, an inoperative Toyota App, inability to subscribe to remote services, or inability to activate Wi-Fi. This evidence does not support a generic 2018-2023 claim or prove that every discharged Camry battery is caused by the DCM.

Common Symptoms

  • Depleted 12-volt battery while the ignition is off
  • DTC B15A804 in current or history
  • Red SOS LED remains on after bulb check
  • Toyota App or remote services inoperative
  • Unable to activate vehicle Wi-Fi

How to Fix

Test the 12-volt battery and charging system and measure key-off draw before assigning the cause. If the vehicle is an applicable 2020-2021 Camry or Camry Hybrid and has the T-SB-0095-20 condition, follow Toyota's DCM reset and firmware-update procedure with the required battery support and Techstream steps. Continue normal parasitic-draw diagnosis when the vehicle, DCM firmware, DTC, or symptoms do not match. Do not replace a battery, relay, telematics module, or buy a maintainer from this card without diagnosis.

Owner tips & cautions

  • TipRecord battery state, key-off draw, DCM firmware and B15A804 history before clearing codes or disconnecting power; a weak battery and a DCM draw can coexist.
  • WarningT-SB-0095-20 is limited to 2020-2021 Camry/Camry Hybrid and does not make a battery, maintainer, relay, or telematics module an automatic repair.

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.
