- What is 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.
- Risk
- 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.

The car it's hard to turn now, it make noise when I accelerate, liking grease-oil on the ball joints. It sounds like the problem with the recall , but my car is 2-11.. A month before the recall ( that starts in 3 -11).. So I took it to dealership, and they didn't wanted to help me with that. They want to charge me like $800. What can I do??
My year of toyota and make had a recall on the front driver's side ball joint and my ball joint is about ready to snap because it is a faulty factory ball joint. I would like this to be checked out because I have kids and I don't want to hurt any of us. Thank you for your time and consideration. Families are forever!!
Front right axle boot leaks grease to the control arm suspension causing the vehicle to be un stable/vibration puts me in fear. Dealership does not want to do anything about it. I am very scared. The vehicle is in motion
Well out of no where my airbag light came on and will not cut off. I was told it s a airbag recall
On two occasions (august 2019 and october 27, 2019) when pulling in to my driveway I experienced unintentional acceleration by the vehicle. The second time the car rammed into a post on my house and the airbag deployed fracturing my sternum in three places.
As I am checking my credit report I decided to look at the vehicle report an I see recalls that I never new anything about, two recalls. I recall recently having issues with said recall, control arms, one of said recall in question, now I hadn't purchased this vehicle long after the recall, as I stated did not get a letter nor did the dealership say anything, as I have gotten regular oil changes with the recall time frame, my car was hit on the street while parked in 2017, but I was told the controls arms problem was not a result of that, I had taken my vehicle to several toyota dealers an they said they couldn't see t find anything, an eventually one dealer fix it, under my warranty. But it seem to still be a problem with the upper lower control because the car is is swaying from time to time especially with this powerful winds, today my car swayed into the other lane as I was on the freeway I had to get off immediately.
