Other wheel or tire problem on the 2011 Toyota Camry
2 crashes 1 injury 3 of the 28 reports for this failure mention a crash, a fire, an injury or a death. Those are the owner's words on the complaint form, not a verified finding, and one report can mention more than one.
When other wheel or tire problem gets reported
Owners of the 2011 Toyota Camry report other wheel or tire problem at a median of 25,000 miles. A quarter of the reports come in before 7,500 miles and a quarter after 45,000 miles, from 25 reports that carried an odometer reading.
A part like this is normally expected to survive 60,000 miles. It is the 8th most-reported problem on this model year.
The mileage distribution
The reported range runs from 2,500 miles at the tenth percentile to 115,000 miles at the ninetieth, a spread of 114,276 miles across the middle 80% of reports.
When the reports scatter this far, the mileage is telling you about how these cars were driven more than about the part itself.
64% of the dated reports were filed under 36,000 miles.
The whole distribution
| 10th | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1,324 miles | 6,700 miles | 24,000 miles | 45,500 miles | 115,600 miles |
Read the 10th percentile as “one report in ten arrived this early”. Exact figures are shown in this table because it is the table of record; everywhere else on the site they are rounded to the precision the sample can carry.
What a percentile can and cannot tell you here
These five numbers describe the readings owners gave, in order. The median is the middle one: half the reports arrived below it. The 10th and 90th are the edges of the bulk of the distribution, and the distance between them is the part worth reading. A tight spread — say 70,000 to 95,000 miles — points at something that wears out on a schedule, and the schedule is knowable. A wide one, 20,000 to 190,000, points at a fault that hits some cars and never troubles others, which means the mileage on the listing in front of you tells you very little about your odds.
What these figures are not is a survival curve. Every reading here comes from a car whose owner filed a complaint, so the sample contains only failures: it cannot say what share of the fleet made it past 150,000 miles untouched, because those owners had nothing to report. Nor is the mileage the moment of failure — it is the odometer reading as recalled at the time of filing, which may be weeks later and is sometimes rounded to the nearest ten thousand by the person typing it.
Percentiles are shown at all only once 8 readings exist for the vehicle and mode. Below that the middle of a handful of numbers is noise wearing a decimal point, so the figures are withheld rather than dressed up.
What happens, and what it costs
Of these reports, 2 a crash and 1 an injury are mentioned. Owners write their own complaints and the agency does not verify them, so read this as what the reports say happened rather than as a confirmed count.
Putting it right typically runs $200–$1,500 at an independent US shop. That range is an editorial estimate held in this site's failure-mode catalogue, not a figure from NHTSA, and it is a repair cost rather than a diagnosis cost.
The same failure on other years
The same failure is reported on 25 model years of this car. It shows up earliest on the 2016, at a median of 5,000 miles, and latest on the 1999 at 155,000 miles.
By volume the 2002 carries the most reports, with 48; the 2011 has 28. A mode that appears across most years of a model is usually a design choice rather than a bad batch.
If one year stands out to the left, that is the year to avoid; if the whole line sits at a similar mileage, this is wear rather than a defect in one production run.

What owners wrote
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The mileage is the one the owner gave.
In aug. Of `10 I purchased a 2011 toyota camry. It has about 6500 miles on it and after driving it home from niagara falls yesterday, about 100 miles, I ran it through a car wash. I drove it home about a mile and made two stops on the way. Parked in the garage I went out to get the car around noon today (19 hours after the wash). The car would not move as the wheels were all tightly locked. I could not get it to go forward or backward. Finally one of the front wheels moved slightly and in so doing the back end of the car went sideways into the garage wall doing minor damage. I did not try it any more until around 24 hours after the car wash and it still is tightly locked and will not move. The temperature last night was about zero and 20 degrees today. I fear if I really force it may do damage to the brakes if it hasn't already. I have driven cars for 60 years, washed many in as cold weather and never had this happen. I have been told it is a design flaw. If I was not retired and had to go to work I would not have been able to move the car. Thank you for the opportunity to report this problem.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, he drove over a rock and the front passenger side tire blew. As a result of the blowout, the rim on the front passenger side split in half. The contact installed a spare tire as a temporary remedy. The vehicle was then taken to an authorized dealer and the contact was informed that he would have to pay to have the rim replaced. The rim was replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 6,700. Updated 11/01/2011 *ln *tr
Car was brought in for tire noise. It was determined that the tires were wearing unevenly due to misalignment. Since the dealer did an alignment in april I felt that this was unacceptable. After complaining for about a half an hour that this was the worst toyota I have ever bought (and I have had many). The service manager finally relented to replace all four tires and do a four wheel alignment free of charge. They said it was for "customer relations". Or perhaps to make me disappear. In any event I was pleased with the results. Only time will tell if this alignment holds. *tr

How far this goes
Complaints are voluntary, so 28 is a floor and not a count of affected cars. Mileages are typed in by owners and cluster on round numbers. And the mode itself is assigned by software reading the complaint text, which is reliable in bulk and fallible one report at a time.
Questions this page answers
At what mileage does other wheel or tire problem happen on the 2011 Toyota Camry?
Across 25 owner reports that included an odometer reading, half were filed by 25,000 miles. A quarter were filed before 7,500 miles and a quarter after 45,000 miles. These are the mileages owners reported when they complained, not a prediction for any individual car.
How common is other wheel or tire problem on the 2011 Toyota Camry?
28 reports have been filed with NHTSA, about 18 per 1,000 vehicles. Complaints are voluntary, so this is a floor rather than a count of affected cars.
What this is and is not. These are the mileages at which owners chose to complain to a federal agency, which is not the same as the mileage at which the part fails on every car. It skews toward failures that happened outside warranty, cost real money, or frightened someone. It is still the only public dataset that carries failure mileage at all, and the shape of a few hundred readings is informative even when a single one is not.
