Like the title states, WHO has taken their 2012 Camaro's into their Dealerships to have their Steering Wheel Airbag Terminals replaced? It seems kind of Ironic that either GM, nor my local GM Dealership has even made me aware of this very important and life threatening Recall.
I just downloaded a new App called S.N.A.F.U. onto my Iphone this afternoon and immediately went to my car and scanned my VIN Number into the App and it came back that this Airbag Recall was issued by GM:
Summary: GM is recalling certain model 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Buck Verano and Chevrolet Sonic vehicles. The Driver Side Frontal Airbag has a shorting bar which may immediately contact the airbag terminals under NHTSA Campaign ID NUMBER 13V023000.
Consequence: If the bar and terminals are contacting each other at the time of a crash necessitating deployment of the drivers frontal airbag, that airbag will not deploy, increasing the drivers risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering wheel airbag coil free of charge. The safety recall began on Feb. 13,2013. Owners may contact GM at 1-800-521-7300.
Notes: This is GM recall number 12261 and is an expansion of NHTSA recall 12V-522. Owners may contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) , or go to
