2019 vs. 2020 Toyota Camry: What Changed

Our records for the 2019 and 2020 Toyota Camry show one difference in the specifications and ratings tracked below.

All-wheel drive is listed for 2020 and not for 2019.

One campaign covers both years. Five campaigns (air bags, equipment, fuel system and others) cover the 2019 and not the 2020, while two campaigns (air bags and engine and engine cooling) cover the 2020 and not the 2019.

Fewer campaigns do not establish better reliability. Confirm each car's coverage and repair status by VIN.

The campaigns that separate them

Imported NHTSA recall campaigns that name one of these two model years but not the other, with their component labels. Campaigns covering both years are left out of this list.

Only the 2019

  • 19V244000 equipment
  • 19V503000 equipment
  • 19V567000 air bags
  • 20V012000 fuel system
  • 21V890000 service brakes

Only the 2020

  • 20V064000 engine and engine cooling
  • 23V865000 air bags
A campaign may cover only part of a model year's production. Use the campaign number to ask an authorized dealer whether the car's VIN is included and what work remains. Our recall tool finds model-year campaigns; this guide explains the vehicle-specific check.
