Fitment on this 2003 Toyota Camry is narrowed to the year, engine and trim, so a car built around the 2.4L four-cylinder (2AZ-FE) is never held to a torque figure or clearance written for the 3.0L V6 (1MZ-FE), and neither is held to a specification carried over from an adjacent Camry year.

Known issues on the 2003 Camry. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the curtain shield air bags: on certain vehicles so equipped, improper assembly can leave one or both curtain air bags twisted near the inflator, and a twisted bag may not deploy rapidly enough when it is activated in a side impact collision. Owners have filed 946 complaints for the year, and 106 technical service bulletins have been issued.
