2022 Chevrolet Camaro

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 Camaro.

The 2022 Chevrolet Camaro, requiring 5.0 quarts of 5W-30 engine oil, recorded the fewest owner complaints in the model’s 1990–2023 history with just 13 total, a dramatic drop from the 2010 peak of 295, though its single recall and top complaint area of Power Train show that while overall issues are minimal, powertrain concerns remain the most common.

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 2022 Chevrolet Camaro sits at the low end of a multi-year downward trajectory in owner complaints and manufacturer actions, with federal data showing just 13 complaints and 1 recall compared to 16 complaints and 4 recalls in 2021 and 15 complaints with 0 recalls in 2023. This places the 2022 model near the bottom of an arc that saw far higher activity in the mid-to-late 2010s—such as 138 complaints in 2016 and 78 in 2018—suggesting the generation had largely matured by this point. Within 2022 specifically, the highest-volume complaint categories were Power Train and Engine with three submissions each, followed by Unknown Or Other and Air Bags with two each, though the data does not specify root causes for these submissions. The model year also generated one crash-related complaint and zero fire complaints, with no federal investigations opened. Given that 2022 represents the lowest complaint volume in the modern generation’s federal record while carrying only a single recall, it stands out as a statistically favorable year to buy within this Camaro lineage.
