2012 Toyota Camry Service and Repair Manual

The 2012 Toyota Camry was built in three engine configurations — the 2.5L four (2AR-FE), the hybrid version of that same block (2AR-FXE) and the 3.5L V6 (2GRFE) — and they do not share service data. This manual is matched to your exact year, engine and trim, so each specification and tightening sequence in it is the one Toyota published for that build, not a figure borrowed from the engine beside it on the line or from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2012 Camry. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first is an electrical system recall: on the affected vehicles the drain hose for the air conditioning condenser may become clogged. The consequence on record is that a short circuit may cause the air bags to become disabled or inadvertently deploy. The second, filed by Southeast Toyota Distributors, is a frontal air bag sensor and control module recall, covering the condition where the front passenger seat occupant sensing system is out of calibration. Owners have filed 807 complaints against the 2012 Camry, and Toyota has issued 254 technical service bulletins for it.

From a clogged condenser drain to an occupant sensing calibration check or a routine service interval, it keeps you on the factory procedure and the correct specification for your own 2012 Camry.
