Pre-purchase inspection
NHTSA has issued 18 recall campaigns affecting 2016–2024 Toyota Camry vehicles, concentrated in air bags and fuel system. A recall applies to specific VIN ranges, so any individual car may be affected by all, some, or none of them — which is exactly what an on-site inspection establishes before you pay.
1 of these campaigns carry NHTSA’s “park it” warning — meaning affected vehicles should not be driven until the remedy is performed. Confirm the VIN against NHTSA’s recall lookup before test-driving.
