3 safety recalls for the 2014 Toyota Camry

Newest first. Summaries are NHTSA's own wording. Open a recall for the fix and the full notice.

Suspension

front · control arm · lower arm

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2014 Toyota Camry, Camry HV, Avalon, and Avalon HV vehicles equipped with 16-inch and 17-inch rims.
