Toyota sold the 2001 Camry under a single badge with two very different engines beneath it: a 2.2L four-cylinder, built in 5S-FE and 5S-FNE form, and a 3.0L V6, the 1MZ-FE. Specifications diverge between them, and again across the trims Toyota offered that year, so the numbers that apply to a 2001 Camry depend on exactly which combination left the factory in the car. Those combinations are listed below.
Engines
- 2.2L 2164CC l4 GAS DOHC Naturally Aspirated
- 3.0L 3000CC V6 GAS Naturally Aspirated
Trims
- CE, Automatic
- CE, Standard

Known issues on the 2001 Camry. One recall sits on federal record for this model year, and it was recorded against aftermarket equipment rather than the car as Toyota built it: DOPE, Inc. recalled 42,540 combination corner and bumper lamp assemblies of various part numbers, sold for use as aftermarket equipment for various passenger vehicles, under exterior lighting and headlights, where decreased lighting visibility may result in a vehicle crash. The wider owner record runs longer than that single entry: 356 complaints were logged for the year, and 85 technical service bulletins were issued covering the 2001 Camry.
Lighting and lens work, chasing a symptom that lines up with one of those 356 complaints, or routine service on the V6 all come back to the same Toyota specification written for your own 2001 Camry.
