2000 TOYOTA CAMRY — Complaint #442958
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about TIRES:MARKINGS filed November 29, 2003
NHTSA complaint #442958 (ODI reference 10048825) concerns a 2000 TOYOTA CAMRY and was filed on November 29, 2003. The owner reports the failure occurred on November 19, 1999. The report was geocoded to Texas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as tires:markings, 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. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.
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 tires:markings 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 2000 TOYOTA CAMRY shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
RE: DUNLOP SP SPORT 4000 TIRES, ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON 2000 TOYOTA CAMRY PURCHASED NOV 1999. HE FINAL DIGITS OF THE DOT NUMBER ON ALL THE TIRES IS: 369. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THESE DIGITS ARE SUPPOSED TO INDICATE THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE. BUT SURELY THAT DATE CANNOT BE THE 3RD WEEK OF 1969! SO MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE TIRES DO NOT ACCURATELY INDICATE THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE.*AK
