Buying a used 2018 Chevrolet Camaro? Check these 2 recalls first
Two recalls, both steering-related in different ways: GM cars that may lose electric power steering assist, and a Camaro steering wheel emblem that can break loose in a crash. Neither is flagged stop-driving or park-outside. The 80 NHTSA complaints, which are unverified owner reports, spread across electrical system (20), power train (17), steering (17) and engine (15), and include four fires, five crashes and five injuries, a notable fire count for the volume.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Confirm the power steering assist recall repair was completed, by VIN
- Verify the steering wheel emblem recall was addressed
- Ask about any sudden loss of steering assist, and inspect the engine bay for burn or heat marks
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
