What this means for you

Plain-English summary

Toyota Motor North America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2010 Camry vehicles. The recall addresses a defect in vehicles equipped with the 4-cylinder (2AR-FE) engine where the power steering pressure hose may be insufficiently long. This can result in an insufficient gap between the hose crimp and the left rear brake tube.

Under these circumstances, the brake tube may interfere with the crimp, leading to wear and eventual perforation. A perforated brake tube may result in brake fluid leakage, which can impact braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace or adjust the brake tube free of charge if necessary. The safety recall began on March 4, 2010. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
