Chevrolet Camaro Recalls (2010-2022)
The Chevrolet Camaro has been the subject of 16 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2010 to 2022 model years. They cluster mostly around the air bags, steering, and power train.
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.
