    Airbag system issue

    AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

    General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2017-2021 Chevrolet Camaro vehicles. The plastic "Camaro" emblem, located on the steering wheel air bag cover, may separate during deployment of the frontal driver air bag.

    Consequence

    In the event of a crash, plastic pieces of emblem may act as projectiles from deployment of the driver air bag can increase the risk of injury.

    Remedy

    GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the frontal driver side air bag module, free of charge. The recall began April 14, 2021. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N212327220.

What the ratings mean

NHTSA published rollover resistance for this vehicle but not frontal crash, side crash and side pole. An untested area is not a poor result — it means no published data exists, and the overall star rating is calculated without it.

NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 8.3% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.

How this compares

At 16 MPG combined, the 2019 Chevrolet Camaro ranks 7th of 7 subcompact cars EPA rated for 2019 — 9 MPG short of the 25 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 $4,750, $1,950 more than the $2,800 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $23,750, a $9,750 difference against a class-median vehicle.

Tailpipe CO₂ is 571 grams per mile — about 8.6 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
