Steering issue
STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2015 Camry, Camry Hybrid, Highlander, and Highlander Hybrid, and 2014-2015 Rav4 vehicles. A component of the electric power steering (EPS) electronic control unit (ECU) may have been damaged during the manufacturing process. Over time, this damage may result in failure of the electric power steering system.
Consequence
An unexpected loss of power steering increases the risk of a crash.

What the ratings mean
NHTSA gives the 2015 Toyota Camry 5 out of 5 stars overall, level with the 5-star median for the 21 comparable 2015 vehicles NHTSA rated in this class.
NHTSA published results for every NCAP test in this program, so the overall star rating rests on a complete set of crash and rollover results.
NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 11.1% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.

How this compares
At 28 MPG combined, the 2015 Toyota Camry ranks 8th of 23 midsize cars EPA rated for 2015 — 4 MPG better than the 24 MPG median for that group.
That places it a little above the middle of its class. Fuel cost is close enough to its rivals that other running costs will probably matter more.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $2,200, $350 less than the $2,550 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $11,000, a $1,750 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 313 grams per mile — about 4.7 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
