Recall History for 2007-2011 Toyota Camry

Data snapshot from the provided material

  • Owner complaints: No complaints found for this make/model/year/issue combination.
  • Official recalls: No recalls found in the NHTSA database for this make/model.
  • Data note: The above statements reflect the exact entries given in the provided data. There is no additional recall or complaint information supplied beyond this dataset.

What this means for the recall history

  • Based on the supplied data, there are no official recalls to report for 2007–2011 Toyota Camry in the NHTSA database, and no owner complaints were recorded in the dataset for these model years.
  • Important caveat: The absence of listed recalls or complaints in this dataset does not guarantee that no recalls or safety campaigns exist in broader records, nor does it guarantee there have never been owner-reported issues. Always verify current recall status using VIN-specific checks with official sources.

Practical implications for Camry owners (2007–2011)

  • No active recalls reported in the dataset: If you own or are considering owning a Camry from this era, you are not bound by any dataset-listed open recalls at this time.
  • Routine maintenance remains essential: Regardless of recall status, staying on top of routine maintenance is the primary protection against unexpected failures, especially in older vehicles.

Guidance for owners: maintenance focus and inspection ideas

  • Regular maintenance basics to follow (typical for this generation):
    • Oil and filter changes at intervals recommended in the owner’s manual (often every 5,000–7,500 miles depending on driving conditions and oil type).
    • Air filter, cabin air filter, and fluid inspections/replacements as recommended.
    • Tire maintenance: rotate per manual, monitor tread depth, and keep tires balanced/aligned for even wear.
    • Brake components: inspect pads, rotors, and fluid; replace pads as needed and rotors if warping or excessive wear.
    • Battery and charging system: test battery health, especially in older vehicles, and clean/corrosion prevention on terminals.
    • Cooling system: inspect hoses and radiator, flush coolant on schedule, and ensure thermostat and radiator fans function properly.
  • Typical non-recall maintenance opportunities and costs (2025 estimates; USD, ballpark ranges):
    • Oil change: $40–$100, depending on oil type (conventional vs synthetic) and local shop rates.
    • Oil filter and shop supplies: usually included in the above, or a small extra $5–$15.
    • Spark plugs (4-cyl 2AZ-FE or similar): replacement approximately $150–$300 total, depending on labor and plug type.
    • Air filter and cabin air filter: $20–$60 each, plus labor if done by a shop.
    • Brake job (pads and potentially rotors): front or rear pads $150–$300 per axle; rotors may add $100–$250 per axle if needed.
    • Tires: a set of four tires can range from roughly $400–$900+ depending on size and brand.
    • Battery replacement: $100–$250, depending on battery type and vehicle systems.
    • Transmission service (fluid change): typically $150–$250 if done with labor.
    • Water pump (if replaced as part of cooling system): roughly $400–$800 total, depending on labor and engine design.
    • Timing chain-related components: if issues arise (rare for this generation), replacements can be significantly more expensive (roughly $1,000–$2,000 or more, depending on what needs to be replaced and labor).

Model-year and engine notes (contextual but not recall data)

  • Camry generations around 2007–2011 used a mix of 4-cylinder (often 2AZ-FE or 2AR-FE in later years) and V6 engines. Most of these engines use timing chains (not timing belts), which reduces the likelihood of a single “timing belt failure” event but does not eliminate the possibility of chain-guide or tensioner wear over time.
  • Common wear items for aging Camrys tend to include suspension components (struts, bushings), steering rack boots, motor mounts, and drive belts (serpentine belt) depending on engine and trim. These are maintenance items rather than recall-led fixes.

What to do if you want to verify recall status today

  • Use VIN-specific recall checks:
    • Check the official NHTSA recall database with your VIN.
    • Contact Toyota Customer Service or a local Toyota dealer with your VIN to confirm current recall status.
    • Sign up for recall alerts on official sites to receive notices for any future campaigns.
  • While the dataset here shows “No recalls found,” always confirm with live sources, as campaigns can be issued after initial reporting and may be updated.

Limitations of the data presented

  • The recall history presented here is strictly based on the provided dataset, which states no owner complaints and no official recalls for 2007–2011 Camry in the NHTSA database.
  • The absence of complaints or recalls in this data does not imply universal safety or reliability; it reflects the specific entries given.
  • Real-world safety campaigns, service bulletins, or field actions may exist outside the scope of this dataset or may be issued after its creation.

Summary

  • Recall history (per provided data): No recalls found in NHTSA database for 2007–2011 Toyota Camry. No owner complaints recorded in the dataset for these years.
  • Practical takeaway for owners: There are no dataset-listed recalls to address, but maintain standard, preventive maintenance to avoid age-related issues typical of a vehicle this old.
  • 2025 cost context: Use standard maintenance cost ranges above for budgeting; major non-recall replacements such as timing-chain-related work or cooling-system components can represent substantial costs if needed, but such work is not indicated as required by the provided data.

If you’d like, I can tailor a more detailed maintenance plan by exact engine type (4-cylinder vs V6) and your current mileage, with a year-by-year maintenance checklist and updated 2025 cost estimates for each item.
