Each tile shows the median mileage at which that model year’s failures were reported. † marks a year whose median likely understates the mileage: much of its reporting came after 2020, when most complaints stopped recording an odometer reading. The 2018 reports latest and the 2020 earliest, but part of that gap is age: the 2018 has had 2 more years on the road to accumulate mileage. 4 of these years carry fewer than 30 reports with an odometer reading and show no median at all, rather than one computed from a handful.
The short answer
“Is the 2018–2024 Toyota Camry reliable?”
- Median of reported failures
- 14,000 mi
- 90% of reports came by
- 92,000 mi
- Reports with mileage
- 636
- Recalls
- 15
At least 40% of this generation’s complaints were filed after 2020, and most complaints filed since then carry no odometer reading, so the median likely understates the mileage these failures happen at.
Most reported
- Transmission and driveline20.7% of complaints · median 8,000 mi
- Engine16.6% of complaints · median 16,000 mi
- Problems owners could not categorise14.8% of complaints · median 5,000 mi
Owners filed 1,800 complaints with NHTSA about the 2018–2024 Toyota Camry; the transmission and driveline leads with 20.7% of them, and half of the 636 that record an odometer reading came by 14,000 miles. A count like this can’t rate reliability on its own: NHTSA records what owners chose to report, not how many of each car were sold.
48% of complaints that record mileage fall within the first 12,000 miles, against 3.3 reports per 1,000 miles between 20,000 and 80,000. On a generation this new that is expected: few examples have been driven further yet, so the timing says little about design or wear so far.

How many miles does a 2018–2024 Toyota Camry last?
The newest model years (2024) are too young to have reached high mileage; most reports with an odometer reading come from the earlier years of the generation.
Complaint records can’t measure how long a car lasts; they show when reported failures happened. On the 2018–2024 Toyota Camry, half of the 636 complaints that record an odometer reading were filed by 14,000 miles and 90% by 92,000 miles.
17 reports came in past 150,000 miles and 9 past 200,000 — each one proof that a Camry reached that mileage, not that it failed there.

System by system, in words
Complaints about this generation are not spread evenly across the vehicle, and the systems that generate the most of them do not all fail at the same point in a car's life. The median failure across all systems here is 14,000 miles; the figures below show which parts of the car run ahead of that and which run behind.
The transmission and driveline accounts for 20.7% of complaints (372 reports, 130 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails early — a median of 8,000 miles, well before the vehicle's overall median. Failures clustered this far below the rest of the car usually point to a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear, because wear does not selectively target one system on low-mileage examples. The middle half of these reports falls between 999 and 30,000 miles.
The engine accounts for 16.6% of complaints (298 reports, 121 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 16,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 4,000 and 40,000 miles.
Problems owners could not categorise accounts for 14.8% of complaints (267 reports, 79 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails early — a median of 5,000 miles, well before the vehicle's overall median. Failures clustered this far below the rest of the car usually point to a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear, because wear does not selectively target one system on low-mileage examples. The middle half of these reports falls between 1,000 and 15,000 miles.
The brakes account for 11.9% of complaints (215 reports, 69 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 10,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 2,000 and 53,000 miles.
The airbag system accounts for 11.8% of complaints (212 reports, 49 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails late — a median of 36,000 miles, considerably beyond the vehicle's overall median. That pattern is consistent with normal service life rather than a defect, though it matters for anyone buying an example already near that mileage. The middle half of these reports falls between 14,000 and 68,000 miles.
The electrical system accounts for 10.7% of complaints (193 reports, 75 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 12,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 2,000 and 36,000 miles.
Known problems with the 2018–2024 Camry
Fuel System 2018–2020
Denso low-pressure in-tank fuel pump impeller cracks from excessive fuel absorption, deforming and contacting the pump housing; causes rough running, no-start and stalling at speed. Subject of NHTSA recalls 20V-012 and 20V-314.
Transmission 2018–2019
Low-speed hesitation and harsh engagement complaints on the 8-speed automatic, particularly early builds.
Before you buy a 2018–2024 Camry: the 3-minute check
Generated from 636 mileage-tagged complaints, 15 recall campaigns, 2 documented problem areas. Print this page — the checklist survives print.
- A DO NOT DRIVE recall covers part of this generation. Run the VIN before you drive it home — the fix is free at an authorized dealer.
- Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 15 campaigns cover this generation; an open recall is a free repair you can make the seller's problem.
- Ask for transmission and driveline repair records. Reports on this area come at a median of 8,000 miles — a newer example may not have reached that mileage yet, so ask what was repaired under warranty and what the warranty still covers.
- Ask for problems owners could not categorise repair records. Reports on this area come at a median of 5,000 miles — a newer example may not have reached that mileage yet, so ask what was repaired under warranty and what the warranty still covers.
- Check fuel system on 2018–2020 cars. Denso low-pressure in-tank fuel pump impeller cracks from excessive fuel absorption, deforming and contacting the pump housing; causes rough running, no-start and stalling at speed. Subject of NHTSA recalls 20V-012 and…
- Check transmission on 2018–2019 cars. Low-speed hesitation and harsh engagement complaints on the 8-speed automatic, particularly early builds.
- Complaint reports are not spread evenly across model years here — see the by-model-year table below before you settle on a year.
- End with a pre-purchase inspection of this car. Aggregate data describes the population; the example in front of you has its own history.
For a buyer of a newer example: 48% of the reported failures occur in the first 12,000 miles, and many of these cars have not covered that yet. The early window may still be ahead, so check what the factory warranty still covers and whether any recall on the VIN is open.
On inspection, the transmission and driveline and the engine are where this generation's reports concentrate, so those are the areas worth a specific look. The transmission and driveline in particular shows a median failure mileage of 8,000, which gives a concrete number to compare against the odometer of any car you are considering.
None of this is a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection on the individual car. Aggregate patterns describe a population; the example in front of you has its own history.

2018–2024 Toyota Camry recalls (15)
NHTSA records 15 recall campaigns covering vehicles in this generation. A recall means the manufacturer or the regulator concluded there was a safety defect or a standard was not met, and that a free remedy is owed to owners — including second and later owners.
1 of these carry a severe advisory — NHTSA's do not drive or park outside warnings, which the agency applies only when it considers the risk immediate. If you own one of these vehicles, that is the first thing to check by VIN.
The campaigns cluster around the fuel system (5), the airbag system (2), the hydraulic brake circuit (2). Several campaigns against one area can mean a remedy that did not hold, or separate defects in parts filed under the same heading; the summaries below name each defect.
Recall status is specific to the individual vehicle, not the model. Checking a VIN against NHTSA's lookup is free and takes under a minute, and it is the only way to know whether a particular car has had the work done.

Crashes, fires and injuries owners reported
What owners reported alongside the failure itself, out of 1,800 complaints against this generation:
- Crashes
- 133 (7.4%)
- Fires
- 12
- Injury reports
- 80
- Fatality reports
- 1
These flags are self-reported by complainants and unverified by NHTSA; one report can carry several flags, so the counts overlap and do not sum to a total. They are not adjusted for how many of these vehicles are on the road. No chart is drawn here on purpose: overlapping counts spanning very different magnitudes cannot be honestly encoded as lengths.
Camry problems by model year
The 2018 drew the most complaints of this generation, 769, most of them about the transmission and driveline, and the 2024 the fewest, 50. A typical year drew about 165.
That makes the 2018 stand out at roughly 4.7 times a typical year. A count like this follows how many cars of each year were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as how often they failed, so it is not by itself evidence of a worse year; what each year's reports name, in its card and row, is the useful part.
