Safety score
53/100
Average recall-severity risk Lower recall-severity risk than 53% of vehicles we track.

The Chevrolet Camaro scores 53 out of 100 (grade C), a roughly average recall record. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 88% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 19% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.

Those 16 campaigns span 13 model years of the Chevrolet Camaro. The single largest affected 464,712 vehicles, over electrical system. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common Camaro problems owners report and its crash-test safety ratings.

The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Chevrolet Camaro may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.

Yes. NHTSA has 16 recall campaigns on record for the Chevrolet Camaro across the 2010 to 2022 model years. The most common areas are the air bags, steering, and power train.
How many times has the Chevrolet Camaro been recalled?
The Chevrolet Camaro has 16 recall campaigns from the 2010 to 2022 model years. A single campaign often covers several model years at once, so the number of recalls is not the same as the number of years affected.

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.

Which Chevrolet Camaro model year has the most recalls?
