Shadowrun: Magic and mythological beings return to the world (apparently in a miscalculation/-interpretation of the Mayan calender by the game's creators).

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: Judgment Day occurs on April 21.

The Terminal Experiment: Robert J. Sawyer's novel is set in 2011.

Any other examples?

I took the lazy route and checked Wikipedia:
Film
Killer Tattoo (2001)
Millennium Mambo (2001)

Television
In the television series FlashForward episode "Future Shock", the date March 14, 2011 is seen on a note during a blackout.
The Heroes television series visits 2011 in several different potential futures.
In the Aeon Flux film, 99% of the world's population is wiped out by a mysterious virus in the year 2011.

Literature
In K. A. Applegate's Remnants book series, 2011 is the year life on Earth becomes extinct after a 73-mile-wide asteroid nicknamed "The Rock" impacts Portugal. Eighty other humans are placed in a shuttle named the Mayflower mere hours before impact and put into artificial hibernation, while a handful of humans in shelters survive the impact on Earth.

I checked the various Star Trek chronologies (the Okuda Chronology, the Pocket Books Timeline, Memory Alpha, and Memory Beta) and found no 2011 references, but there are a couple in James Dixon's uber-obsessive timeline: The Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual has Martian Fever ravaging the Martian Colonies in this year (although the actual book is more vague about the precise date), and an article in The Best of Trek #14 claims that the "Singh Moonbase" is constructed in the Mirror Universe in 2011.
 
Checking the Babylon 5 timeline, the first Psi-Corps novel establishes that there's a near-collision between Earth and an asteroid this year.
