Toyota began equipping its Camrys with timing chains starting in 2017, so the 2019 model will also have a timing chain. Although timing chains are generally dependable and do not require extensive maintenance besides occasional tensioning and lubrication, issues can arise. Signs that could indicate a problem with your vehicle's timing chain include engine misfiring or running poorly, discovering metal shavings in the oil, the engine failing to start, the illumination of the check engine light, and a noticeable rattling noise emanating from beneath the hood. If you need to replace the timing chain in your Camry, the part itself typically costs between $200 and $400, with labor expenses around $300.
Since 2007, all Toyota Camry engine options have utilized a timing chain, including the 2019 model.
