This enclosure feeds filtered air to the 2.5L inline-4 hybrid engine to safeguard the intake tract and sensors. On a 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid, the air box opens with simple clips or screws for quick inspection. If you prefer professional service, our Murray shop can confirm fitment and seal condition during the visit.
