Chevrolet ’s all-new Camaro has only been on the market for a matter of days but General Motors has already announced a recall of the Australian-bred pony car. It remains to be seen how many Camaros will be sent back to the dealers for repairs, but the recall reportedly only involves SS models.
Some early Camaro SS buyers were caught off guard when their brand new rides refused to operate with less than 100 miles on the clock, but the problem has now been identified as a manufacturing defect. A faulty battery cable is at fault, with Chevy dealers standing by to repair the problem.
However, the faulty battery cable can pose a serious risk to 2010 Camaro SS owners – as the car can simply stop running – leading GM to recommend owners have the cars towed to the nearest dealership.
Although the recall will be fairly isolated, the news is not good for GM. The Detroit-based automaker is currently fighting for its survival and doesn’t need an early recall – especially on a vehicle as well-publicized as the Camaro — further tarnishing the company’s reputation.
