What happened

General Motors is recalling certain replacement flip-key ignition transmitter assemblies sold for 2010-2015 Chevrolet Camaro vehicles. These keys can be accidentally moved out of the run position if bumped (such as by a driver's knee), causing the engine to shut off while driving. When this happens, the vehicle loses power steering and power braking, which increases the risk of a crash. Additionally, the air bags may not deploy properly in a crash, increasing the risk of injury to occupants.

GM dealers will replace the recalled key with a flat blade design at no cost to owners. Owners who received recall notices should contact their Chevrolet dealer or call Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 to schedule the replacement. GM's recall number for this issue is N192223230.
