AFTER THE FIRST 100 MILES OF USE I ALWAYS CHECK THE WHEEL LUG NUTS FOR PROPER TORQUE VALUE AS PER THE OWNERS MANUAL AND DID SO ON MY NEW 2014 CAMARO 2SS, PURCHASED ON 23 MAY 2014. I FOUND ALL THE WHEEL LUG NUTS WAY UNDER TORQUED AT APPROXIMATELY 80 LB FT OF TORQUE., THE 2014 CAMARO FACTORY OWNERS MANUAL THAT CAME WITH THE CAR STATED 110LB FT OF TORQUE ON EACH LUG NUT. ALSO NOTED THAT ON EACH LUG NUT THERE APPEARED TO BE A SPECIAL COATING MATERIAL ON THE MATING SURFACE OF EACH NUT. LOOKS & FEELS LIKE A TEFLON COATING. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT THIS SURFACE SHOULD BE FREE OF ANY LUBRICATION SO THAT WHEN SEATED AGAINST THE WHEEL SURFACE IT WOULD BE METAL TO METAL WITH NO LUBRICATION REQUIRED. COULD THIS COATING BE AFFECTING THE WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUING DONE DURING THE WHEEL INSTALLATION AT THE GM ASSEMBLY PLANT? *TR
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014 Buick Regal, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Camaro and Chevrolet Impala vehicles. Improperly torqued fasteners may cause the steering intermediate shaft and the steering gear and/or the lower control arm and the lower ball joint to separate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If any of the components separate, the vehicle may have a loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: GM began to notify owners on June 27, 2014, and dealers will inspect the fasteners for correct torque, correcting them as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-521-7300 (Buick), 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac) or 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet). GM's number for this recall is 14378.
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling all 2010-2014 Chevrolet Camaro vehicles manufactured December 3, 2008 to May 23, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the driver may accidentally hit the ignition key with their knee, unintentionally knocking the key out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, a key knocked out of the run position could cause loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will remove the key blade from the original flip key/RKE transmitter assemblies, and provide two new keys and two key rings per key. The recall began August 25, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 14294. Note: Until the recall has been performed, it is very important that drivers adjust their seat and steering column to allow clearance between their knee and the ignition key.
General Motors (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Coupes manufactured June 9, 2013, through September 6, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the required air bag warning label on the sun visor may peel off. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208 "Occupant Crash Protection."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the air bag warning label detaches from the visor, the driver and front seat passenger may not be warned of the risks of air bag deployment, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and instruct owners how to inspect the visor sticker. As necessary, dealers will replace the sun visor, free of charge. The recall began on October 28, 2013. Owners may contact GM at 1-800-521-7300. GM's recall campaign number is 13284.
