What Happened
Your Camaro's ignition key is the part that turns your engine on and off. There was a problem with the replacement keys sold for your 2010-2015 model, and some of them were sold even though they were also recalled when they were new.
Risk if Unfixed
If you bump the key with your knee, it could turn off the engine while you're driving, which means you'll lose power steering and power braking, making it harder to control your vehicle. This increases the risk of a crash, and in a crash, the airbags might not deploy properly, putting you at risk of serious injury.
Free Fix
Your Chevrolet dealer will inspect your key and replace it with a redesigned, safer one at no cost to you. You should schedule this repair as soon as possible.

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.
