NHTSA Service Bulletin 11015824: 2019-2022 Cadillac Camaro
Official manufacturer communication context for 2019-2022 Cadillac Camaro, with affected products, buyer checks and links into Carchieve recall, problem and VIN research.
Reviewed June 2026 from NHTSA manufacturer communication and service bulletin records. Carchieve is independent and not affiliated with any vehicle manufacturer or government agency.
General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety may exist in certain: 2019 2020 model year Cadillac CT6, 2020 2021 model year Cadillac CT4 and CT5, and 2020 2022 model year Chevrolet Camaro vehicles equipped with a 10-speed transmission. A transmission control valve in some of these vehicles may be susceptible to excess wear over time, resulting in a gradual loss of pressure within the valve that can cause harsh shifting. In rare cases, the wheels may experience a momentary lock up. If the wheels lock-up momentarily while driving, there is increased risk of a crash. Dealers will install new transmission control module software that will monitor valve performance and detect excess wear approximately 10,000 miles (16,000 km) before a wheel lock up condition could occur. Once detected, the transmission will be limited to fifth gear, preventing the possibility of a wheel lock up condition, which occurs in a downshift from eighth gear. A service engine light and reduced propulsion message will also display in the instrument panel.
What this bulletin may mean before buying
Treat this as service research, not a verdict on one car. Before you buy, compare this communication with official recall campaigns, model-level owner complaint patterns, and the exact vehicle’s VIN-decoded specifications. A bulletin can help you ask a seller or dealer sharper questions about software updates, known repairs, warranty extensions and service history.
