Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

In 2017 the Camaro generated 183 complaints, 3 recalls and 1,576 TSBs, which is higher than the 138 complaints and 1 recall recorded in 2016 but lower than the 78 complaints and 2 recalls in 2018. The generation’s TSB count peaked at 2,041 in 2013 and has fallen steadily, reaching 1,576 in 2017, while complaint volume followed a similar downward trajectory after the 2010‑2014 high of 1,633 to 2,041 TSBs. The top complaint categories for 2017 were Steering (44 complaints) and Power Train (34 complaints), together comprising the majority of the reported issues. Crash‑related complaints numbered 13 and fire‑related complaints 1, consistent with the low‑frequency pattern of the surrounding years. Given the modest recall activity and the concentration of complaints in non‑safety‑critical systems, the 2017 model remains a reasonable used purchase if the vehicle’s maintenance record is satisfactory.
