Check it out if you need a handy reference for deciphering your Camry’s factory warranty coverage.

Basic Warranty

The New Vehicle Limited Warranty, also known as the basic warranty, for this 2011 Toyota Camry expired in 2014 at 3 years old. This 3-year/36,000-mile warranty covered repairs needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship. However, it did not cover damage or failures resulting from accidents, abuse, improper repairs, lack of maintenance, or installation of non-Toyota parts. Normal wear and tear, such as brake pads and wiper blades, were also not covered. 

With the Camry now being over 10 years old in 2023, the basic warranty coverage has expired. It’s important to understand what this factory warranty did and did not cover while it was active from 2011-2014. If unsure about warranty coverage, refer to Toyota’s Ultimate Car Warranty Guide for specifics on basic warranty exclusions.

Powertrain Warranty

The powertrain warranty for this 2011 Toyota Camry covered repairs needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship of the engine, transmission/transaxle, front-wheel drive system, and rear-wheel drive system. This included the cylinder block, timing gears, transmission case, axle shafts, and more. The powertrain warranty expired in 2016, at 5 years old, since it was limited to 60,000 miles or 5 years, whichever occurred first. 

It’s important to know what the powertrain warranty covers and its time and mileage limits. Please refer to Toyota’s warranty guide for full details on the powertrain warranty coverage while it was active.

Corrosion Perforation Warranty

The rust perforation limited warranty for this 2011 Toyota Camry covered repair or replacement of any original body panel that developed perforation from corrosion. This included exterior body panels and floor panels. The rust perforation limited warranty had coverage for 60 months, regardless of mileage. As such, this warranty expired in 2016 when the Camry reached 5 years old. 

It’s important to know that while this warranty was active from 2011-2016, it protected against rust-through corrosion on the Camry’s body panels. Please refer to Toyota’s warranty guide for full details on the rust perforation limited warranty coverage.

Air Conditioning Warranty

Unfortunately, the maintenance guide for the 2011 Toyota Camry does not specify the coverage duration or details for the air conditioning warranty. Typically, an air conditioning warranty would cover repairs needed to fix defects in materials or workmanship of the A/C components for a certain number of years or miles. Common terms are 3 years/36,000 miles or 5 years/60,000 miles, but the guide does not confirm the air conditioning warranty parameters for this vehicle. 

Since the basic and powertrain warranties have expired based on the 2011 model year Camry surpassing 3 years and 60,000 miles respectively, it is likely any air conditioning warranty with similar terms would have also expired by now. 

Battery Warranty

Unfortunately, there is no mention of any battery warranty. Typically, a battery warranty would cover defects in materials or workmanship of the original battery for a specified number of months or miles. However, batteries can fail prematurely for other reasons like damage, improper maintenance, environmental factors, or normal deterioration, which are often not covered. 

Since the basic warranty (also called the New Vehicle Limited Warranty) on the 2011 Camry expired after 3 years, it is likely any similar battery warranty would have also expired by now if originally 2-3 years in length. 

Tire Warranty

The Tire Limited Warranty covers tire defects in materials or workmanship. However, it does not cover damage or failures resulting from lack of proper maintenance, abuse, misuse, improper repair, alteration, tires with altered DOT markings, or tires used in racing or competition. 

Since Toyota vehicles come with tires warranted by the tire manufacturer and not Toyota, there is no specific mileage or time limit stated in the warranty booklet. The coverage period is determined by the tire manufacturer’s warranty details. Without knowing the specific tires originally equipped and their manufacturer warranty details, it is impossible to provide the expiration year for the tires on the 2011 Toyota Camry.

Federal Emissions Warranty

The Federal Emission Control Warranty covers repairs and adjustments needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship of emission control components supplied by Toyota. This includes components like the engine control module, catalytic converter, and other parts listed in the warranty booklet. However, it does not cover failures caused by lack of maintenance, misuse, alteration, or the use of replacement parts not equivalent to Toyota parts.

The warranty coverage is 2 years or 24,000 miles from the vehicle’s in-service date, whichever comes first. Since the in-service date is 2011 for this Toyota Camry, and it is now 2023, the 2-year/24,000-mile federal emission control warranty expired in 2013, 2 years after the 2011 in-service date.

The Clean Air Act

The Clean Air Act could potentially help the owner of this 2011 Toyota Camry replace some emissions system parts. This vehicle is covered by federal and California emissions warranties that were instituted to comply with Clean Air Act regulations.

The federal Emissions Defect Warranty and Emissions Performance Warranty expired in 2013, 2 years or 24,000 miles after the vehicle’s in-service date, as required by the Clean Air Act. However, the California Emissions Control Warranty provides longer coverage of certain emissions-related parts. Under this warranty, emissions defects are covered for 3 years or 50,000 miles, and the Long Term Defect warranty covers specified parts like the engine control module and catalytic converter for 7 years or 70,000 miles. So the Clean Air Act led to the creation of these California warranties that can help pay for repairs to emissions components on the Camry until 2018. After that date, the owner would be responsible for emissions system repairs.

California Emissions Warranty

The California Emission Control Warranty covers repairs and adjustments needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship of emission control components supplied by Toyota. This includes components like the engine control module, catalytic converter, and other parts listed in the warranty booklet. However, it does not cover failures caused by lack of maintenance, misuse, alteration, or the use of replacement parts not equivalent to Toyota parts.

The Short-Term Defect Warranty covers any defective emissions-related parts. It expired in 2014, 3 years, or 50,000 miles after the in-service date.

The Long-Term Defect Warranty covers major emissions components like the engine control module and catalytic converter. It expired in 2018, 7 years or 70,000 miles after the 2011 in-service date.

2011 Toyota Camry Recalls

The NHTSA has issued several recalls for 2011 Toyota Camry vehicles that owners should be aware of. 

One recall in 2014 was for seat heater electrical wiring that could short and increase fire risk (NHTSA campaign number 14V743000). Another in 2014 was for premature ball joint wear that could cause vehicle control loss (14V732000).

These recalls indicate the various issues that have emerged over the years with 2011 Camry vehicles.

Staying up-to-date on recalls is important for all vehicle owners to maintain safety.

Extended Warranties

Extended Warranty Available Upon Car Purchase

There is no information provided in the warranty booklet about any extended coverage offered by Toyota at the time of purchase for this 2011 Camry. The best way for the owner to find out if they have an extended warranty would be to check their original paperwork and documentation from when the vehicle was purchased new. Any extended warranty coverage would be indicated there. 

Since extended warranties are optional purchases made by the owner, the coverage details, duration, and expiration would depend on the specific plan purchased. Without those original purchase documents, the owner likely has no extended warranty coverage beyond the original Toyota new vehicle limited warranty. Owners need to retain that paperwork to know what extended coverage they may have for their vehicle.
