What is being recalled
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.
Why it is dangerous
A loosened ball joint may separate from the knuckle and could cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
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.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 14V-732 when calling a dealer.
