What Happened
The ignition key in your Camaro is the part that turns the engine on and off. In some cases, the replacement key sold by GM was recalled because it could accidentally shut off the engine if you bump it with your knee while driving.
Risk if Unfixed
If the engine shuts off unexpectedly, you could lose power steering and power brakes, making it harder to control your vehicle. This could lead to a crash, and in a severe accident, your airbags might not deploy as they should.
Free Fix
Your Chevrolet dealer will inspect the key and replace it with a redesigned one, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.

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.
