Recalls

Newest first. Each recall covers only certain vehicles, so not every 2015 Camaro is necessarily included.

Air Bags › Side/Window (15V666), October 2015. About 395 vehicles are potentially affected across every model and year the recall names. The recall names these risks: a crash, injury, death, an air bag that may not work as intended. Dealers do the repair free of charge.^[13]

EPA ratings depend on the engine and drive. Annual fuel cost uses EPA's current fuel price assumptions, not prices when the car was new.
