Consumer Description

TOYOTA CAMRY 2002. THE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON. THREE BOLTS WERE STRIP FROM THE ENGINE. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF IT AND DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. IT COST ME APPROX $4,000 TO FIX. TOYOTA ISSUED A TSB 2 YEARS AGO ABOUT THIS FAILURE: TSB 01507, NHTSA #10021542, DATED APRIL 6 2007. I FOUND THIS IN MY RESEARCH. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME TOYOTA SAID TO REPLACE THE HEAD, HEAD GASKET AND BOLTS. THAT THE HEAD HAD BEEN REDESIGNED SINCE IT WAS A KNOW ISSUE. IT WAS ALLEGED CAUSED WHEN TOYOTA CHANGED BUILDING THE HEAD FROM CAST IRON TO ALUMINUM. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. WWW.TOYOTANATION.COM/FORUM/PRINTTHREAD.PHP?T=274802&PP=40. *TR
