GM dealerships have started to retrofit the Rear Park Assist feature (RPO code UD7) on certain units of the 2022 Chevy Camaro and 2023 Chevy Camaro, GM Authority has learned.
Some 2022 and 2023 Chevy Camaro units were produced without a functional park assist feature because of the microchip shortage.
The affected units from the 2022 model year are those produced from January 31st, 2022 onwards to the end of production. Affected 2023 model year units were produced between start of regular production (SORP) on June 17th, 2022, and July 24th, 2022. Notably, all affected units of both model years were produced in calendar year 2022.
All affected vehicles can be identified through inspection of the window sticker, which includes the RPO code 00Y if the unit was built with the Rear Park Assist feature non-functional.
The Rear Park Assist feature (UD7) is normally included as standard on the 3LT, 2SS and ZL1 trim levels. This feature is not offered at all on the other trims of either the 2022 or 2023 Chevy Camaro, including the 1LS, 1LT, 2LT, LT1, and 1SS trim levels.
Dealerships can carry out the retrofit by replacing the currently installed non-functional park assist module with a new, functional park assist module. The dealership service personnel may also need to reprogram the instrument cluster and/or the active safety control module in some of the affected Chevy Camaro units.
The actual replacement of the park assist module requires approximately 48 minutes on average. It is carried out free of additional charge.
The retrofit program is in effect until March 31st, 2026.
Dealerships notified buyers of affected Chevy Camaros about the non-functional Rear Park Assist feature at the time of purchase, and the missing feature was so indicated on the vehicle’s window sticker as noted above with RPO code 00Y. Owners were notified of their vehicle’s eligibility for a retrofit at no additional cost once the necessary parts became available.
Affected 2022 or 2023 Chevy Camaro owners who want more information about the retrofit can call Chevrolet’s customer service number, referencing the GM customer satisfaction program number below.

GM resolved the constraint on Rear Parking Assist for the Chevy Camaro from July 24th, 2022, when sufficient semiconductor chips became available to produce vehicles with functional Rear Parking Assist again. New 2023 Chevy Camaro units produced on or after July 24th, 2022 were produced with functional Rear Parking Assist and do not require a retrofit.

Love reading the GM Authority daily digest news.
Also thanks for the update on the rear park assist for the new Camaros which was effective by the chip shortage
The only question that I have is , any word on The RPA for the 2023 Chevy Blazer RS coming anytime soon.
Thank you.
Why is it taking so long to deliver a ss convertible camaro. I order one in December 2022 and I am still at 1100 .I here a lot of BS about allowance for the dealer. If a customer comes in a dealer ship he or she should be priority on orders of what he wants not what you think he wants. Let’s get it together not every one wants what is on the lot.Today there is no inventory to pick from. Please make my car.i tried in 2021 and.gm never made the unit.Do you really want to sell cars no inventory and can’t fill a customers order.very SAD. Order #CJKKXW

I’m right there with ya Robert. I had a ’22 LT1 on order in April 2022 and it eventually cancelled when orders closed. Dealership immediately created new order for a 2023 and it has had no traction. In December, they told me that they wouldn’t hold me to my order if I wanted to try elsewhere, but that they would keep it live in case it got picked up. I’ve now had two orders at two different dealerships since December and neither has been allocated. I live in rural Kansas, so it’s disheartening that “sold” units can’t get picked up for almost a year now.
I am wondering what is going to happen, if GM stops the production of the Camaro. What in God’s name will NASCAR use?
Do I buy a 2nd Camaro as a spare?
