ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION

Manufacturer
General Motors LLC
What Happened
The ignition key in your Camaro is the small, flip-style key that you turn to start the engine. GM sold some replacement keys that might not work properly, so they're recalling them to fix the problem.
Risk if Unfixed
If you accidentally bump the key with your knee while driving, the engine could shut off unexpectedly. This would leave you without power steering and power brakes, making it harder to control your vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash. In a crash, your airbags might not deploy, which could lead to serious injury.
Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect and replace the key with a new one that's designed to be more resistant to accidental shutdowns — all at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
Show original NHTSA language
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION

Manufacturer
General Motors LLC
What Happened
The ignition key in your Camaro is designed to stay in the 'run' position when you turn the key to start the engine. However, in affected 2010-2014 models, the key is at risk of being knocked out of position by your knee, causing the engine to shut off.
Risk if Unfixed
If the key is knocked out of position, the airbags might not deploy in a crash, putting you at risk of serious injury. You could also lose power steering, power brakes, and engine power, making it harder to control your vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Chevrolet dealer will replace the key blade with a redesigned one that's less likely to be knocked out of position. They'll also give you two new keys and two key rings, all free of charge. Make sure to schedule the fix as soon as you get the recall notice.

Original — What Happened
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling all 2010-2014 Chevrolet Camaro vehicles manufactured December 3, 2008 to May 23, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the driver may accidentally hit the ignition key with their knee, unintentionally knocking the key out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, a key knocked out of the run position could cause loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Original — Remedy
GM will notify owners, and dealers will remove the key blade from the original flip key/RKE transmitter assemblies, and provide two new keys and two key rings per key. The recall began August 25, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 14294. Note: Until the recall has been performed, it is very important that drivers adjust their seat and steering column to allow clearance between their knee and the ignition key.
