Known problems with the 2021 Toyota Camry
1 of the 6 issues we track for the 2018–2024 generation is documented against the 2021 model year.
Hybrid 12V battery early failure
minorThe small trunk-mounted AGM auxiliary battery on hybrids commonly dies around 4 years, stranding the car even though the hybrid pack is fine. Symptoms are a dead car after sitting, or ghost electrical faults. Replacement is a normal DIY with an AGM of the same size.
Typical cost: $200–$350

About the Toyota Camry
The Toyota Camry is America's perennial best-selling midsize sedan, and the 2012–2025 span covers three very different cars that share one reputation for low running costs. 5L V6 with a conventional 6-speed automatic, 0W-20 oil, and cheap, plentiful parts. Its main documented weak spots are a torque-converter shudder on early 6-speeds and brake-actuator failures on hybrids.
5L (0W-16 oil), an 8-speed automatic, LED headlights on every trim, and a long recall list early on (Denso fuel pump, brake vacuum pump) that Toyota fixed for free. 5L hybrid, FWD or AWD, rated around 44–53 mpg. 3, lug torque stays 76 ft-lbs, the key fob takes a CR2032, and hybrids hide a separate small 12V battery apart from the high-voltage pack, usually in the trunk.
Maintenance is simple and interval-driven: 10,000-mile synthetic oil changes, 30,000-mile air and cabin filters, coolant at 100k then every 50k, and iridium spark plugs at 120k.
