Here's an obvious design and or material flaw. The oil filler baffle on the 2003 Camry can dislodge and cause damage to your engine...check out YouTube video, http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=1tHt_z1jZsA&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D1tHt_z1jZsA...Toyota needs to come clean and fix this, which to me seems simple enough. For those who say that the person's changing the oil should be aware not to place too much pressure on the baffle during oil changes, I agree BUT this is one of those design modifications that was not tested fully or Toyota would've known this and used sturdier material or a more functional design. I guess if more engines are destroyed then they'll be forced into a recall...but then again we all don't mind paying for a new engine, do we:)
