2004 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA — Complaint #1490470
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW filed August 12, 2018
NHTSA complaint #1490470 (ODI reference 11119445) concerns a 2004 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA and was filed on August 12, 2018. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 23, 2018. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as air bags:side/window, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA cohort independently describe similar air bags:side/window failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2004 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
