2016 TOYOTA CAMRY — Complaint #2130784
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER:RETRACTOR filed September 16, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2130784 (ODI reference 11687577) concerns a 2016 TOYOTA CAMRY and was filed on September 16, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 31, 2025. The vehicle had 132,393 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Massachusetts based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as seat belts:rear/other:retractor, 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 cohort independently describe similar seat belts:rear/other:retractor 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 2016 TOYOTA CAMRY shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
