Camry recalls and tsb
Toyota Camry Reliability
Engine head gaskets (1988, 1989, 1990, 1991 model years): These seals were apparently prone to letting oil leak into the engine compartment, thus posing the risk of possible fire. Toyota issued a service bulletin concerning gasket repairs or replacement for affected vehicles.
Fuel tank/fuel system (1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991): NHTSA received various owner complaints of leaking fuel and/or fuel vapors, possibly the result of improper assembly and/or faulty components. Most reports indicated the leaks occurred from around the connection between the fuel tank and fuel-filler neck. A few reports mentioned premature or unexpected tank rusting. Toyota issued a service bulletin covering "engine sag and poor performance due to fuel foaming," but it's unclear whether this related to the reported problems.
Electrical/seatbelt systems (1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991): Various owner complaints filed with NHTSA state that certain components failed or malfunctioned after eight or more years or at high mileage (typically over 50,000 miles). The components implicated most frequently were the ignition system, lighting equipment, power door locks, and the motorized front shoulder belts.
Throttle linkage (1987, 1988, 1989, 1990): Various complaints filed with NHTSA suggest some vehicles may have a "sticky" linkage between the accelerator pedal and the engine's throttle mechanism; some owners reported "sudden acceleration" if the pedal did not immediately return to idle position on being released.
Brake pads (1990, 1991): Toyota issued a service bulletin on replacement disc-brake pads to cure a "clicking noise" reported by some owners.
Air conditioning (1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991): NHTSA received various owner complaints about poor or erratic air conditioning performance. Toyota issued a technical service bulletin concerning a "retrofit" service program for affected vehicles.
Toyota Camry Safety Recalls
1987: Liquid spilled in the console area may cause failure or malfunction of the electronic control unit for the front automatic seatbelts, resulting in lack of seatbelt protection. Dealers would install a protective cover to the electronic control unit.
1987: The electronic control unit for the power door lock system can fail, causing component damage that could prevent the doors from being unlocked manually. Dealers would install an additional sub-circuit relay control to prevent malfunction of the original relays in the ECU.
1987, 1988, 1989: Lap-belt retractors can lock in the retracted, stowed position, thus rendering the belt unusable. Dealers would install a redesigned belt guide.
1988, 1989: Due to a design defect, the jack supplied with station wagons may allow a raised vehicle to lower itself, thus causing possible injury. Dealers would replace the jack with one of improved design.
1991: Failure of a specific component in the radio can cause an electrical short circuit, possibly resulting in a fire. Dealers will repair or replace the radio
