Your replacement ignition key has a design flaw that can cause it to shut off your engine if you bump it with your knee while driving, like when you're parking or merging lanes.
Risk if Unfixed
If the engine shuts off, your power steering and brakes will fail, making it hard to control your vehicle. If you're in an accident, the airbags might not deploy, which can increase the risk of serious injury.
Free Fix
Your dealer will swap out your old key for a new one with a safer design, at no cost to you. Schedule the repair as soon as you receive the notice, and you'll be back on the road safely.

Original — What Happened
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain replacement flip-key ignition transmitter assemblies sold as replacement equipment for 2010-2015 Chevrolet Camaro vehicles. GM dealers may have inadvertently sold these assemblies as replacement keys despite them having been recalled under NHTSA recall number 14V-346 (GM number 14294) when they were the original equipment assemblies. The driver may accidentally bump the ignition key with their knee, moving the ignition out of the run position and turning off the engine.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
Once the engine is off, the vehicle can lose power steering and power braking, increasing the risk of a crash. The air bags may not deploy in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Original — Remedy
GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace the key with the flat blade design, free of charge. Interim notices informing owners of the safety risk were mailed November 6, 2019. Owners received a second notice and the recall began February 4, 2020. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N192223230.
The ignition switch in your 2010-2014 Camaro is the part that keeps the engine running when you're driving. In some cases, the key can accidentally pop out of the run position just by bumping it with your knee.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, your airbags might not deploy in a crash, and you could be at risk of injury. You could also lose power steering, power brakes, and engine power, making your vehicle harder to control, which increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Chevrolet dealer will replace the key to prevent it from falling out of the run position. They'll give you two new keys and two key rings, and the repair is completely free.
