CAMARO RECALL

This sounds like a very serious safety issue so I thought I'd try to get the word out



RECALL Subject : Air Bag Warning Label May Detach from Sun Visor
Report Receipt Date: SEP 26, 2013
NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V463000
Component(s): EQUIPMENT
Potential Number of Units Affected: 18,941
Manufacturer: General Motors LLC
SUMMARY:
General Motors (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Coupes manufactured June 9, 2013, through September 6, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the required air bag warning label on the sun visor may peel off. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208 "Occupant Crash Protection."
CONSEQUENCE:
If the air bag warning label detaches from the visor, the driver and front seat passenger may not be warned of the risks of air bag deployment, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
REMEDY:
GM will notify owners, and instruct owners how to inspect the visor sticker. As necessary, dealers will replace the sun visor, free of charge. The recall began on October 28, 2013. Owners may contact GM at 1-800-521-7300. GM's recall campaign number is 13284.
NOTES:
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
