If you find a belt with stripped cogs, it indicates that something in the cam drive system has jammed or stuck, overloading the belt and causing it to shear teeth or jump time. The most likely culprit is the camshaft, which may have seized due to engine overheating or lack of lubrication (low oil level or loss of oil pressure). Check the coolant level, oil level and maintenance records of vehicle. Toyota has been recommending 7,500-mile oil change intervals for some of its vehicle - which has lead to oil sludging and other engine problems. Changing the oil and filter every 3,000 miles or 3 to 6 months is still the safest recommendation.

When OHC cylinder heads get too hot, they usually swell up in the middle, causing the cam to bend or bind. In some cases this may break the cam, snap the timing belt or shear the cam drive sprocket off the end of the cam.

Make sure the replacement belt is identical to the origin. belt length, width, tooth profile and pitch must be the same, and the material must be the same or better. Do not substitute a less expensive neoprene belt for one made of Brade supported. Use a quality brand of belt because some generic brands use inferior materials that won't last as long os the OEM belt or a quality aftermarket belt.
