In an accident where this vehicle rear-ended an Explorer at about 30 mph, neither airbag deployed. Camry has extensive front-end damage with all front-end systems pushed back into engine and wheels. Police at scene wondered why there was no airbag deployment, and towing and fire (medical) personnel used extreme caution until sure the airbag system was in fact disarmed by removal of battery.

The powdered chemical on the exterior of the airbags caused skin burns when the airbags deployed. This was particularly severe with respect to the driver of the vehicle, who burned, blistered, and has had residual rash and medical treatment for the chemical burns to the chest area, two months after the crash. I have been told that these types of airbag injuries are more typical of the first-generation airbags, but very atypical of airbags that would be installed in a 2001 model vehicle.
