POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT
- The defect
- General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2021 Chevrolet Camaro vehicles. The left or right axle shaft may be missing a retaining ring, which could allow the axle shaft to separate while driving.
- What it can cause
- A separated axle shaft can cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left or right axle shaft as necessary, free of charge. The recall began April 21, 2021. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N212331000.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 8 vehicles this is a small campaign: 93% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Chevrolet vehicles have been recalled over the power train 38 times before this, most recently in October 2020 as 20V668000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 16 complaints with NHTSA. 7 of those name the power train, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 25V148000 (power train), 21V211000 (air bags), 20V811000 (seat belts).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by General Motors, LLC with NHTSA on March 18, 2021 as campaign 21V188000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
