NHTSA investigations into the 2015 Toyota Camry Hybrid
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough
complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks
something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.

Pedestrian alert sounds
NHTSA received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States.

Recalls on the 2015 Toyota Camry Hybrid
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.
Canada — Transport Canada
Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not
always mirror the American ones.
Recall 202172355,683 units in Canada
Electrical
Issue: This recall is for certain block heater kits installed on certain vehicles or sold as accessories at Toyota or Lexus dealerships. On certain vehicles, the engine block heater cable may not have enough heat protection and could be damaged by high temperatures. If this happens, the cable could short circuit while plugged in, and cause the wiring to overheat or melt. Note: This recall only affects the following block heater/cord part numbers: C014003034 PK5A408J09 PU14000904 C014003151 PK5A408J13 PU14000905 C014000885 PK5A489J11 PU14000907 C014000888 PK5A489J22 PU14000909 C014000907 PK5A410H00 PU14000911 C014100904 PU14000900 PU14000913 C014100907 PU14000901 PU14003571 C014100911 PU14000902 PK5A489J14 PK5A408J05 PU14000903 Safety Risk: Engine block heater wiring that overheats or melts could create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: Toyota recommends that you should stop using the engine block heater immediately. Toyota will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to disable the engine block heater. For some vehicles, the corrective actions for this recall are under development. For others, a new engine block heater cannot be installed, and the owner will receive a refund of the purchase price of the engine block heater.
Recall 201510312,043 units in Canada
Steering
On certain vehicles, the circuit board for the electric power steering electronic control unit may be damaged. A damaged circuit board could result in sudden loss of steering power assist and would trigger a warning lamp to illuminate. A vehicle experiencing a loss of steering power assist would revert to a manual steering mode which would require greater driver effort, especially at low vehicle speeds. A loss of steering power assist could ultimately result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace inspect the electric power steering electronic control unit and, if affected, replace the electronic control unit with a new one.

WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS I HEARD A "THUNKING" NOISE COMING FROM THE BACK TIRES. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND DID A VISUAL INSPECTION ALL TIRES APPEARED TO BE PROPERLY INFLATED. I THEN GOT ON THE FREEWAY AND AFTER DRIVING ABOUT A MILE IN THE SLOW LANE AT 65MPH. I SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSIVE SOUND COMING FROM THE RIGHT REAR TIRE AND SAW WHAT APPEARED TO BE SMOKE COMING FROM THE BACK. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER AND CALL EMERGENCY ROAD ASSISTANCE. THE TIRE HAD LITERALLY COME COMPLETELY APART FROM THE WHEEL AND PARTS WERE SHREDDED INTO STRIPS. HAD I BEEN IN ANY LANE OTHER THAN THE RIGHT-HAND LANE I COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS A 2015 CAMRY HYBRID WITH ONLY 16000 MILES. THIS IS THE SECOND TIRE INCIDENT I'VE HAD WITH THE BRIDGESTONE FIRESTONE TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE CAR, WHICH I PURCHASED NEW. THE FIRST INSTANCE WAS A FLAT TIRE THAT OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR ONLY HAD 5,000 MILES. I HAVE NOW REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES WITH MICHELINS.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WINDSHIELD CONTAINS A DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY IN THE LAMINATE IN THE DIRECT DRIVER LINE OF SIGHT WITH THE ROAD. IT APPEARS AS A DARK GRAY MARK ABOUT 2 INCHES LONG BY 1/4 INCH WIDE. ISSUE WAS REPORT TO TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER AT FIRST MAINTENANCE INTERVAL (5,000 MILES). IT CAUSES A REFLECTION AT NIGHT FROM LIGHTS (ON COMING CARS, STREET LIGHTS, ETC). THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE GIVEN THE LOCATION AND DISTRACTION IT CAUSES.

MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED ON MY 2015 CAMRY HYBRID. I WAS ENTERING THE 101 FREEWAY IN PASO ROBLES, CA, TRAVELING SOUTH INTO VERY LIGHT TRAFFIC (1:30 P.M.). APPROX. 3/4 OF A MILE LATER INTO MY FREEWAY TRANSITION THERE WAS A EXPLOSION-LIKE SOUND. MY INITIAL RESPONSE WAS TO LOOK OUT MY BACK WINDOW, WHERE I NOTICED DARK-COLORED GLASS WAS FLYING AWAY FROM THE CAR. A FREEWAY OVERPASS WAS NOT IN PLAY, I WAS TRAVELING A FULL LANE AWAY FROM THE NORTH BOUND CENTER DIVIDER, AND THE AREA TO THE IMMEDIATE RIGHT OF MY CAR WAS A GRASSY AREA. MY CAR WAS NOT HIT BY A FOREIGN OBJECT; STONE, BOLT, ETC., AS THERE WAS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. UPON TAKING MY CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT IT COULD HAVE ONLY BEEN CAUSED BY AN FLYING OBJECT LIKE A STONE. HOWEVER, AS I SEARCHED THE INTERNET, I BECAME AWARE THATEXPLODING /SHATTERING SUNROOFS HAS NOT BEEN A OCCASIONAL HAPPENING, AS HUNDREDS OF TESTIMONIES ON THE INTERNET INDICATE OTHERWISE.MOST ALL AUTO MANUFACTURERS ARE INVOLVED. NBC-TV NEW YORK, ON FEBRUARY 24, 2015 DID A NEWS PIECE ON THIS VERY SUBJECT. I WOULD STRONGLY ENCOURAGE THE NHTSA TO THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATE THIS IMPORTANT MATTER.
