Are There Problems with the Toyota Camry’s EGR Exhaust Gas Recirculation System?

The EGR system helps reduce NOx emissions, but in dusty environments like Pakistan, it can get clogged. Have Camry owners faced issues with EGR valve blockage, leading to increased emissions o r check engine warnings?

The EGR system, which recirculates exhaust gases to reduce nitrogen oxide NOx emissions, can indeed get clogged over time, particularly in dusty o r poorly maintained environments like Pakistan. If the EGR valve becomes blocked, it can cause higher emissions, reduced engine performance, and trigger check engine lights. Routine maintenance, including cleaning the EGR valve, can help prevent this issue. Owners should also be cautious about fuel quality to prevent clogging.
