While fixing another problem, I pulled the codes from the ECM and found several P0087 (low fuel rail pressure). The problem was apparently intermittent and if the engine service light came on, it was transient and the light cleared. So neither my wife or I noticed an engine service light. I did some research and found that Denso found and reported a problem with the in tank fuel pump design to the NTSB in Feb. of 2020. We purchased the Camry in Dec. 2019 which meant we had the defective fuel pump. I ordered a new Denso fuel pump and install it and no new codes have appeared in the ECM log. Apparently Toyota has been slowly adding more years to the recall, but hasn't yet added the 2020 model year. This is a problem since a number of people have reported engine stalls due to the defective fuel pump. We live in the mountains, that might have been very dangerous especially if my wife suddenly lost power brakes and steering on a mountain road. Why hasn't a recall been ordered for this pump on all effected years?

The fuel pump has a malfunction. The car started jerking and started to accelerate by itself when I was driving it. Yes the problem reproduced. The vehicle is currently under inspection by the manufacturer. Yes there were multiple warning lights including the check engine light.

Hesitant and sluggish acceleration caused check engine light and activated limp mode. Code P0087 - fuel rail/system pressure too low. My VIN isn’t included on the major fuel pump recall, but I’m experiencing issue and being told it’s going to cost thousands to repair.

My vehicle has being acting faulty. The vehicle looses power and stops while driving. It has done it multiple times. I took it for check up on the dealer and said it was fuel pump. They said that unfortunately this car is not in the recall list even though other same year camrys are not either. The mechanics advised me to contact the federal safety agency to inform about this issue to not have to pay for a recall noticed. Without it, I would have to pay.

My 2020 Camry has been nothing but a problem and Toyota is noncompliant with helping me. The service recall for the fuel pump was fixed at Vaughn Toyota in Bastrop La .. a week later I still had the same issues. They refused to put another fuel pump on my car even thought the fuel pump had a one year warranty. I then took it to Landers in Little Rock and since I had “codes” I had to pay $180 diagnostic fee. Fast forward to now, still have the same crappy fuel pump. I took it to Ryburn Toyota and was told to replace the charcoal canister and vent valve . That was $1000. Problem not fixed. All my lights stay on, I often get a charging system error notification. It goes into reduced power mode. And has left me stranded numerous times on the side of the road. I want whatever is wrong with my car fixed. I have never owned a vehicle with this many problems. I thought Toyota’s were good vehicles but I promise if I ever get rid of this one, I will not purchase another Toyota vehicle again.

the vehicle will randomly shut down and it is due to the fuel pump or fuel pump sensor being faulty. It will shut down in the middle of driving which is a hazard and can lead to a car crash

On December 31, 2001, I was driving 2020 Toyota Camry LE at 20mph and the engine stalled. I kept pressing the gas but my vehicle wouldn't go. The check engine light was also on so we took it to a local shop where they mentioned the Toyota fuel pump recall. We then took it to a local Toyota dealer where they said my specific Camry was not included in the recall and I had to pay $1, 655.69 for a new fuel pump to be installed. My car exhibited the same systems as described in the fuel pump recall therefore I believe my car should be included in the recall and I should be reimbursed.

Low pressure fuel pump defective. Engine dies and/or surges under load at cruise speeds, sometimes dies at idle. Engine shuts down merging onto highway. Occupant(s) could be hit when pulling out into traffic if engine dies. Problem has been reproduced. Dealership said fuel pump is not covered under previous recall, but Toyota has a TSB stating the VIN# is in the TSB range for the above mentioned concerns. No DTC's are set, no messages set.

Having same issue as the federal safety agency Campaign ID: 20V682000 Fuel pump fails, the engine can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealer won't fix because they can't get it to duplicate issue. Multiple codes showing fuel pump P12B501, P107B.

The high pressure fuel pump line suddenly ruptured at the high pressure fuel pump. This happened without warning and spewed fuel all over the engine compartment and onto the exhaust system that comes out just below the engine. It started a small fire on the engine exhaust pipe as I hurried to a mechanic across the intersection. Luckily I was able to turn off the car and avoid damage. The repair required a new high-pressure fuel pump as well as a line that runs into the pump. I kept the original parts - the mechanics state that the replacement fuel line was different than the one removed from the vehicle in the shape of the line connector to the fuel pump. I was told by Toyota that my car was NOT under recall despite there being fuel pump recalls for similar vehicles.
