Posted on: 2014-06-20
Description
General motors llc (gm) is recalling all 2010-2014 chevrolet camaro vehicles manufactured december 3, 2008 to may 23, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the driver may accidentally hit the ignition key with their knee, unintentionally knocking the key out of the run position, turning off the engine.
