Air bags:frontal

General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2017-2021 Chevrolet Camaro vehicles. The plastic "Camaro" emblem, located on the steering wheel air bag cover, may separate during deployment of the frontal driver air bag.

In the event of a crash, plastic pieces of emblem may act as projectiles from deployment of the driver air bag can increase the risk of injury.

Power train 5,000 mi 1.8 yr in service

MY TRANSMISSION HAS AN ISSUE WHERE IT IS DIFFICULT TO SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR AND SOMETIMES WHEN SHIFTING INTO SECOND GEAR, IT KICKS ME OUT AND PLACES ME IN NEUTRAL. THE HOUSING ON THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE AND THE CHEVROLET DEALERS DO IT WANT TO HELP ME!

Power train 5,000 mi 2.1 yr in service

MY 2019 CAMARO SS2 BRAND NEW SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED 3 TIMES WHILE IN MOTION. THEN I STOPPED KILLED ENGINE AND IT WOULDN'T RESTART, COULDN'T TURN ON FLASHERS, COMPLETELY DEAD. I FINALLY OPENED DRIVER DOOR AND CLOSED AND WAS ABLE TO START IT. THE STEERING QUIT WHILE PARKING, AND PERIODICALLY THE CAR WONT LOCK. DEALER SAID NOTHING WRONG, NO CODES

How to read this

This is what owners reported, not a reliability rating. People file with NHTSA about alarming failures, not routine ones, and complaint volume tracks how many cars were sold.
Failure ages come from the incident date on each complaint, populated on about 83% of records. Mileage is shown where reported — NHTSA’s 2021 system change cut mileage capture to roughly 15%, so it thins out sharply after MY2020.
Every rank compares this vehicle only against others of the same model year. A 2025 car has not had time to accumulate five-year failures, so comparing early-failure share across years is meaningless.
Fourteen make-months distorted by media storms and mass recalls — Toyota in February 2010 ran 11× normal volume across 33 models — are excluded.
Recalls are manufacturer actions and authoritative; complaints are not. A recall listed here may already have been performed on any individual car. Check a specific VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
