Basic Warranty

The New Vehicle Limited Warranty, also known as the basic warranty, does not cover damage from accidents, theft, abuse, improper repairs, alterations, lack of maintenance, environmental conditions, or installation of non-genuine Toyota parts. It also does not cover normal wear and tear items like brake pads, wiper blades, or spark plugs. The basic warranty expires at 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first. 

For a 2009 Toyota Camry, this means the basic warranty coverage expired in 2012, after 3 years of ownership, since time takes precedence over mileage in this case. Knowing what is and isn’t covered under the basic warranty, and when it expires, can help Camry owners better understand their repair coverage.

Powertrain Warranty

The powertrain warranty covers the engine, transmission, front-wheel drive system, and rear-wheel drive system on Toyota vehicles for 60 months or 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Specifically, it covers the engine block, head, timing gears, timing chain/belt, flywheel, valve covers, oil pan, oil pump, engine mounts, turbocharger housing, transmission case, torque converter, clutch cover, mounts, transfer case, front drive housing, rear axle housing, propeller shafts, U-joints, axle shafts, bearings, seals, and gaskets. 

For a 2009 Toyota Camry, the 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty coverage expired in 2014, after 5 years of ownership, since time takes precedence over mileage in determining expiration.

Corrosion Perforation Warranty

The rust perforation limited warranty covers the repair or replacement of any original body panel that develops perforation from corrosion (rust-through) on Toyota vehicles. There is no mileage limit on this coverage. For a 2009 Toyota Camry, the rust perforation limited warranty expired in 2014, after 5 years of ownership based on the time limit. Toyota provides 5 years of coverage against rust perforation on body panels, regardless of mileage accrued.

Air Conditioning Warranty

The Toyota Air Conditioning Warranty likely covers repairs needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship of the air conditioning system components. Though not explicitly stated, this warranty likely expires at 36 months or 36,000 miles from the in-service date, whichever occurs first, similar to the basic warranty coverage. 

For a 2009 Toyota Camry, the air conditioning warranty coverage would have expired in 2012 after 3 years, since the time limit takes precedence over mileage. This means the air conditioning system would no longer be covered under the factory warranty on a 2009 Camry based on the age of the vehicle. The air conditioning warranty protects against AC system defects for 36 months or 36,000 miles on new Toyotas.

Battery Warranty

The Toyota Battery Warranty likely covers repairs needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship of the original battery installed in the vehicle. Though not explicitly stated, this warranty likely expires at 36 months or 36,000 miles from the in-service date, whichever occurs first, similar to the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. However, damage from improper maintenance or environmental issues is not covered. 

For a 2009 Toyota Camry, the battery warranty expired in 2012 after 3 years, since the time limit takes precedence regardless of mileage accrued. The battery is covered for defects for 36 months or 36,000 miles under Toyota’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty. But this protection has expired based on the age of a 2009 Camry.

Tire Warranty

The tire warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship of the original tires installed on the vehicle. It does not cover damage from abuse, misuse, improper maintenance, alterations, or environmental conditions. Tires are warranted by their manufacturer, not Toyota, for their expected usable tread life. For most passenger tires, the tread life warranty expires at 6 years regardless of mileage. 

So for a 2009 Toyota Camry, the original tire warranty has expired based on time, even if the tires still have usable tread depth remaining. Tire warranties protect against premature tread wear and defects in materials and workmanship. However, the coverage has a time limit that has been surpassed for a 2009 model-year vehicle.

Federal Emissions Warranty

The federal emissions warranty covers repairs and adjustments needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship of emissions-related parts. It does not cover damage from abuse, misuse, lack of maintenance, improper repairs, alterations, or environmental conditions. Coverage is for 24 months or 24,000 miles, whichever occurs first. 

For a 2009 Toyota Camry, the federal emissions warranty expired in 2011 after 2 years. Time takes precedence over mileage for the expiration of the federal emissions warranty. This means emissions-related parts are no longer covered under the factory warranty based on the age of a 2009 Camry. 

The Clean Air Act

The Clean Air Act requires vehicle manufacturers to warranty emissions control components for at least 2 years or 24,000 miles. This federal emissions warranty has expired based on time for a 2009 Toyota Camry since coverage ends after 2 years. However, under the Clean Air Act, Toyota may still cover some emissions-related repairs beyond the warranty period, on a case-by-case basis, especially if an owner lives in an area with vehicle emissions testing. The Clean Air Act aims to ensure vehicles continue to meet emissions standards throughout their useful life. So some emissions components may still be repaired at no cost to the owner if Toyota chooses to extend goodwill repairs to maintain compliance with the Clean Air Act.

California Emissions Warranty

The California emissions warranty covers repairs and adjustments needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship of emissions-related parts. It does not cover damage from abuse, misuse, lack of maintenance, improper repairs, alterations, or environmental conditions. There are two components to the California emissions warranty:

The Short-Term Defect warranty covers emissions-related parts for 3 years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first. So for a 2009 Toyota Camry, this coverage expired in 2012 based on the 3-year time limit. 

The Long-Term Defect warranty covers specific emissions-related parts like the engine computer, throttle body, and catalyst for 7 years or 70,000 miles, whichever occurs first. This protection expired in 2016 for a 2009 Camry after 7 years.

The California emissions warranty aims to keep vehicles compliant with the state’s strict emissions standards. But the coverage has expired based on time limits for a 2009 model year Toyota.

2009 Toyota Camry Recalls

The 2009 Toyota Camry was subject to several major NHTSA recalls over its model year run. These included recalls for issues with the accelerator pedal that could get stuck, problems with the power window master switch overheating and melting, brake light malfunctions, seat heater wiring shorts, and improper load capacity labels. The large accelerator pedal recall in 2010 was due to the pedal getting stuck under floor mats, affecting over 2 million Toyota vehicles.

Another widespread recall was for power window master switches that could overheat and melt, posing a fire risk. Several other recalls involved electrical issues like brake light malfunctions and seat heater wiring shorts. The Camry was also recalled along with many other Toyota models for missing load capacity modification labels. Being aware of these major NHTSA recalls can help current or prospective owners of the 2009 Camry identify any outstanding issues that should be addressed.

Extended Warranties

Extended Warranty Available Upon Car Purchase

Toyota offered extended warranty coverage called Toyota Extra Care at the time this 2009 Camry was purchased new. An extended warranty protects against repair costs after the original factory warranty expires. For a 2009 Camry, the best way to find out if an extended warranty is still active is to contact any Toyota dealer and provide the VIN. They can check the vehicle’s warranty status and coverage details.

Extended warranties have time and mileage limits just like factory warranties, so coverage likely expired after 7-10 years or 100,000+ miles on a 2009 model. However, an extended warranty from Toyota can provide additional peace of mind for repair costs during the active coverage period. Checking on the status of any extended warranty and understanding the specifics of what is covered is advised for older, out-of-factory warranty vehicles like this 2009 Camry.
