Verdict · NHTSA data

Among the better years

The 2022 Toyota Camry is among the quieter years of the Camry on NHTSA's books: 87 complaints (77% below the model's median year), a single recall, and no open investigations. Complainants reported 13 injuries in total across these filings.

No single system dominates the record — complaints spread across driver assistance (12), airbags (11), and electrical system (8), which usually points to general build quality rather than one defect. In government crash testing it earned 5 of 5 NCAP stars overall.
