license plate light recall - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Anyone else get this on the 12's? states if we dont have the proper rear towing hook, it can dislodge the license plate light, causing it to heat up up the back bumper causing injury to anyone that leans or comes in contact with it while getting in and out of the trunk... weird. who gets 'IN' and 'OUT' of the trunk??

They fixed that in 2014 models...J/K

That is strange right there!

I noticed last year one of my lights didn't work. I tried to put the light back in the lens but it wouldn't go in, it came from the factory this way. I finally remembered and went to the dealer, they ordered me a new lens and the light now fits and works.

I make the valets get out though the trunk, I don't want them using my doors.

I got this recall as well. They claim the bulb can melt the bumper if dislodged. I have leds in those sockets so i didnt read much into it.

i got the recall and says its only for early 2010s..which is ironic cause thats what mine is but dont have the problem.

Seeping mail seal/oil pan...now thats a different story (needs a recall)

I got a letter in the mail about this today . Said I'm covered for 10 yrs or 150000 miles if the issue shows up .

I haven't got a recall yet but my bumper has an actual hole from this issue. I thought I was SOL

Yes its true... BUT it's not a recall but just a TSB. I went to the dealer but the dealer will not change it unless it falls off & melts the bumper

So much for preventive maintenance...

Must be cheaper this way than changing it in all the Camaros that could be affected

got mine yesterday never noticed a problem with that light but i will pay attention now

Got a letter from Chevy today on this issue. I've got LEDS back there, so I don't forsee a problem.

Just received my letter and called the dealer. They know nothing about it but told me to bring it by and they'll take care of it.
