2010 Chevrolet Camaro recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
GM is recalling 1,243 my 2010 chevrolet Camaro equipped with a V8 engine. The positive battery cable may contact the starter motor housing and cause wear on the cable insulation. If the insulation wears through to the cable, it could create a short.
💥 The risk
A short could result in a no start condition, cause the vehicle to stall without the ability to restart, or result in an engine compartment fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will reroute the positive battery cable to ensure adequate clearance. The recall began on may 6, 2009. Owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 or at www.gmownercenter.com.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
