Recall 14V346 affects 464,712 2010-2014 Chevrolet Camaro vehicles because a knee strike can turn off the ignition. Repair is free at any franchised Chevrolet dealer.

Chevrolet is recalling 464,712 2010-2014 Camaro vehicles because a driver's knee can hit the ignition key and knock it out of the run position, shutting off the engine. That can cut engine power, power steering, and power braking, and it can keep the air bags from deploying in a crash; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The ignition key and ignition switch on the 2010-2014 Chevrolet Camaro control whether the vehicle stays in the run position. In normal use, the key remains there while the engine is running, so the engine and related electrical systems stay powered while you drive.

In affected Camaros, the driver's knee can accidentally hit the ignition key. That contact can knock the key out of the run position. When that happens, the engine turns off even though the driver did not intend to shut the vehicle down.

There is no warning sign before failure. The problem happens at the moment the key is bumped, so the driver notices it only after the engine has switched off. A Chevrolet dealer handles the recall repair free of charge.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific car is included.

What's the safety risk?

If the ignition key is knocked out of the run position, the air bags can fail to deploy in a crash. The vehicle can also lose engine power, power steering, and power braking, which increases crash and injury risk. Until the recall work is complete, keep your knee clear of the ignition key. Repair will be free at any franchised Chevrolet dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2010-2014 Chevrolet Camaro is included in this recall.
  2. Contact a franchised Chevrolet dealer and ask whether the free ignition-key repair is open for your VIN.
  3. Adjust your seat and steering column to keep clear space between your knee and the ignition key until the repair is complete.
  4. Bring the recall notice if Chevrolet mailed one. If not, reference recall number 14V346 when you call.
  5. Ask the dealer to remove the flip-key blade and provide the replacement keys and key rings that prevent knee contact from turning off the engine.

What happens at the repair

Once the dealer repair is available, a Chevrolet technician will remove the key blade from the original flip key or RKE transmitter assemblies, then provide two new keys and two key rings for each key. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Until that work is complete, Chevrolet tells drivers to adjust the seat and steering column so there is clear space between the driver's knee and the ignition key. That clearance helps reduce the chance of knocking the key out of the run position before the recall work is performed.
