Why “Japan Built” Matters
When purchasing parts for a 4th Generation Camry, verifying your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is essential:
VIN starting with “JT”: Your vehicle was manufactured in Japan. This part is a guaranteed fit.
VIN starting with “1”, “2”, or “4”: Your vehicle was built in North America. Please verify fitment, as some components (such as brake rotors, suspension bushings, or electrical sensors) may differ.
