Recalls that cover the steering rack on the 2018–2024 Camry

As of September 18, 2026, NHTSA lists no recall on the 2018–2024 Toyota Camry whose defect is in the steering rack. 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 steering rack a 2018–2024 Camry takes

Racks differ by steering ratio, by whether the assist motor is on the rack, and on sport trims by the rack itself. 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.
