Electrical issue
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE
Genera Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2016 Chevrolet Camaro, Malibu, Silverado and GMC Sierra vehicles. The radio may intermittently fail to provide an audio warning when the key has been left in the ignition and the door is opened or when the driver does not fasten their seat belt. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) number 114, "Theft Protection", and/or 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
Consequence
An unbelted driver is at a greater risk of injury in a crash.

How this compares
At 20 MPG combined, the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro ranks 6th of 6 subcompact cars EPA rated for 2016 — 6 MPG short of the 26 MPG median for that group.
That places it among the thirstiest vehicles in its class. If annual mileage is high, the running-cost gap against a class-average rival compounds quickly.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $3,800, $1,350 more than the $2,450 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $19,000, a $6,750 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 438 grams per mile — about 6.6 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
