A 2020 Camry owner, NHTSA complaint 11547841: "I purchased my Toyota Camry 2020 in 2021. I am at 56k miles and my car hasn’t started up without a jump for three weeks now. Car battery and alternator checked in excellent condition but somehow battery always drained."

As of September 18, 2026, NHTSA lists no recall on the 2018–2024 Toyota Camry whose defect is in the alternator. If your car has a warning light or a symptom that a recall could explain, check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls anyway — it takes a minute.

Which alternator a 2018–2024 Camry takes

Alternators differ by engine, by output rating, and on stop-start cars by whether the charging system is managed by the battery sensor. The 2018–2024 Toyota Camry came with several powertrains, among them 2.5L I4 Automatic FWD, 2.5L I4 CVT FWD and 3.5L V6 Automatic FWD. That is why we ask for the VIN, or the year, engine and trim, and confirm the part against it before you pay rather than after it arrives.
