2019 Chevrolet Camaro

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 Camaro.

Body PASSENGER CAR

The 2019 Chevrolet Camaro is a passenger car whose powertrain is supported by an engine oil cooler and specified for 5W-30 or 0W-30 oil, the viscosity and cooling provisions that define its routine service profile. Across the 1990–2023 model years for which complaint data is tracked, the Camaro has swung from a peak of 295 owner reports in 2010 to a low of just 13 in 2022, and the 2019 model year registers 51 total complaints with the power train as the dominant category and a single recall on file. That middle-of-the-pack figure places the 2019 well clear of the model's worst reliability year yet well above the recent benchmark, making its powertrain the natural focal point for any researcher weighing long-term durability against other model years in the lineage.

Reliability & federal safety record

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

The 2019 Camaro sits at the low‑point of a clear downward trend in federal complaints, with only 51 complaints versus a peak of 295 in 2010 and a steady decline to 13 by 2022. Recalls also hit a minimum in 2019 (just one), matching the broader reduction from the early‑2010s (3–5 recalls per year) to near‑zero in recent years. Technical Service Bulletins, while still sizable, fell sharply from a high of 1,893 in 2012 to 1,052 in 2019, indicating fewer systemic issues needing manufacturer guidance. The top complaint categories in 2019—Power Train (14) and “Unknown/Other” (10)—are modest in absolute terms, and crash‑related complaints are limited to three, with no fire complaints recorded. This data suggests that 2019 represents a relatively clean year within the current generation, making it a strong candidate for a used‑car purchase.
