Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; spark plugs at 120,000 mi; coolant every 50,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 50,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2022 Toyota Camry sits near the bottom of this generation’s federal-record arc: with 57 complaints, 1 recall, 0 investigations, and 139 TSBs, it has the lowest complaint count since 2014’s 11 and one of the lowest recall counts in the 2018-onward run. It continues the downward trajectory from 2020 (263 complaints, 3 recalls, 252 TSBs) and 2021 (154 complaints, 1 recall, 181 TSBs), while the following 2023 (59 complaints, 2 recalls) and 2024 (45 complaints, 1 recall) stay similarly low before the 2025 record shows 133 complaints and 8 TSBs. The 2022 top complaint areas are air bags (7), visibility/wiper (5), unknown/other (4), and power train (3), with 12 crash-related complaints and 1 fire-related complaint, though the data does not specify root causes. After the 2018 peak of 727 complaints and 8 recalls, complaints and recalls trended downward through 2022, making the 2022 model one of the cleanest years in the dataset. For a used-car buyer, that trajectory and the low federal-file activity make 2022 a particularly good Camry year to target.
