Camaro owners: What does this mean to you?

Don’t worry – we’ll explain what’s happening and outline the steps you should take. Chevrolet’s commitment to safety means a solution is already in place to resolve this issue quickly and free of charge.

What Vehicles Are Affected?

Late-model Camaros like this are among the vehicles involved in the transmission recall.

The Chevrolet Camaro is one of the main vehicles involved in this recall – specifically model years 2020, 2021, and 2022 . A few Cadillac models are also affected, namely the 2020–2021 Cadillac CT4 , 2020–2021 Cadillac CT5 , and 2019–2020 Cadillac CT6 . If your car is one of these models and years, it is included in the recall.

What Is the Issue?

The transmission might have a problem. A small component called a control valve can wear out prematurely inside the 10-speed automatic. If that valve isn’t working properly, your Camaro might shift gears roughly or jerk unexpectedly . In very rare cases, it could even cause the car’s front wheels to briefly lock up while you’re slowing down – a serious safety hazard .

The good news is this issue is highly uncommon – GM estimates only about 1%of the recalled vehicles might ever have the problem . Even so, Chevrolet is addressing it proactively because even a small risk is too much when it comes to safety. No accidents or injuries have been reported, and the recall will ensure your Camaro gets updated before any issue can occur .

How’s Chevrolet handling this?

The fix for this issue is a software update for your car’s transmission control module (the computer that controls shifting). Chevrolet will install new software that continuously monitors the transmission for signs of valve wear . If the software detects a problem developing, it will alert you and prevent the transmission from using the higher gears that could lead to a lock-up.

Importantly, all recall repairs are free of charge – Chevrolet will handle the update and any needed fixes at no cost, so your Camaro stays safe and runs smoothly.
