Summary
The Chevrolet Camaro has 7 recalls spanning 2010 through 2021, with the most serious recent issue being a missing axle shaft retaining ring on 2021 models that can allow the shaft to separate while driving, causing a sudden loss of drive power.
The 2017-2021 model years share a separate concern: the plastic "Camaro" emblem on the steering wheel airbag cover can break free during airbag deployment and send plastic fragments toward the driver. On 2013 models, the driver-side airbag inflator itself can rupture during deployment, sending metal fragments into the cabin, a risk that makes this one of the more serious issues in the entire recall history despite its age. The 2012 model year has a wiring fault that can prevent the driver's frontal airbag from deploying in a crash at all. Also covering 2011-2012 vehicles equipped with power height-adjustable seats, the driver's seat can drop unexpectedly while driving, startling the driver and altering their seating position in a way that affects vehicle control.
On 2010-2014 models, the ignition key sits in a position where a driver's knee can bump it out of the run position, shutting off the engine and disabling the airbags. A label compliance issue affects certain 2013-2014 Camaro Coupes, where the airbag warning sticker on the sun visor can peel away.
