Chevrolet Recall: 2013-14 Camaro Called Back Over Label Issue

Nov 01, 2013 12:07 PM EDT | Matt Mercuro

General Motors is recalling 18,941 Chevrolet Camaros since an airbag warning label on the sun visor could peel off, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

"In the affected vehicles, the required airbag warning label on the sun visor may peel off," said NHTSA in its summary of the issue. "Thus, these vehicles fail to comply to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208 'Occupant Crash Protection.' If the airbag warning label detaches from the visor, the driver and front seat passenger may not be warned of the risks of airbag deployment, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash."

The affected models were manufactured from June 9, 2013 through September 6, 2013.

Chevrolet dealers will be instructed to check the labels on each of the sun visors for appropriate adhesion. The sun visor will be replaced, if needed, free of charge.

"Because this inspection can easily be performed by the customer, and to reduce inconvenience, an inspection procedure will be provided with the customer letter," said GM in a statement.

The recall began on October. 28, according to NHTSA.

Owners with more questions can contact GM at 1-800-521-7300.
