2010-2015 Chevrolet Camaro: Recall Alert
Vehicles Affected: Approximately 10,700 model-year 2010-15 Chevrolet Camaro coupes equipped with certain replacement flip-key ignition transmitter assemblies sold as replacement equipment
The Problem: Dealers may have inadvertently sold these assemblies as replacement keys despite them having been recalled when they were the original equipment assemblies. Drivers may accidentally bump the ignition key with their knee, moving the ignition out of the run position and turning off the engine, which can cause the vehicle to lose power steering and power braking, increasing the risk of a crash. The airbags also may not deploy in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The Fix: Dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace the key with the flat blade design for free.
What Owners Should Do: Chevrolet manufacturer GM did not immediately provide an owner-notification schedule. Owners can call Chevrolet at 800-222-1020, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
