- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 14V715000
- Manufacturer: Toyota Motor Engineering \& Manufacturing
- Reported: 2014\-11\-07
- Owners notified: 2014\-12\-12

## What is wrong

Toyota Motor Engineering \& Manufacturing \(Toyota\) is recalling certain model year 2014 Toyota Camry, Camry HV, Avalon, and Avalon HV vehicles equipped with 16\-inch and 17\-inch rims.  In the affected vehicles, the left\-side front suspension lower arm may have been incorrectly manufactured.  As a result, the left side lower arm may not have enough clamping surface area for one of the bolts that secures the lower arm to the lower ball joint.


## What can happen

Because of the insufficient clamping force, the lower arm may separate from the ball joint, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left side lower arm, free of charge.  The recall began on December 12, 2014.  Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1\-800\-331\-4331.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
