NHTSA Campaign 14V732000

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM

Issued by Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing · Reported Nov 13, 2014 · 56 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2011 Toyota Camry vehicles manufactured March 8, 2011, to July 20, 2011. In the affected vehicles, the rubber boot on the front suspension lower arm ball joint may have been damaged during manufacturing. The damage could cause the boot to leak lubricant grease which could then cause the ball joint to wear and loosen prematurely.

Consequence

A loosened ball joint may separate from the knuckle and could cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ball joint, free of charge. The recall began on December 16, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.
