GM Orders Stop Sale Of 2020 Camaro Over Potential Emissions Recall

General Motors has issued a stop sale order on certain 2020 Camaro models due to a potential issue that could result in an emissions-related recall.

The defect: GM is currently investigating a concern with bleed loss emissions from the evaporative emissions canister exceeding emissions standard specified for the Bleed Emissions Test Procedure (BETP).

The hazards: it is a violation of federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by this notification until the potential emissions issue is remedied.

Affected components: emissions system.

Affected vehicles: 2020 Camaro with the 3.6L V6 LGX engine.

Amount of vehicles impacted: about 2,000 new vehicles in dealer inventory or in transit, and an unknown quantity in the field.

The fix: General Motors is currently investigating the potential emissions issue. Once the investigation is complete, GM will release a bulletin publishing the repair and contact owners, if a remedy is needed.

Owners should: if GM’s investigation identifies that a recall is needed, GM will notify owners and dealers. If owners are unsure whether or not their vehicle is affected, they can visit my.gm.com/recalls and type in their VIN to see any open recalls or other actions that may be active on their vehicle.

Dealers should: until further instructions are received, involved 2020 Chevrolet Camaro vehicles that are in dealers’ possession must be held and not delivered to customers, dealer-traded, released to auction, used for demonstration purposes or any other dealer use. All GM Certified Used vehicles currently in the dealers’ inventory within the Certified Pre-Owned Inventory System (CPOIS) will be de-certified.
