Tell me more about these "faulty springs" in the ignition of the 5th gens... You must be talking about the Ignition Key recall.

#14294B: Product Safety - Ignition Key - (Aug 19, 2014)
Subject: 14294B – Ignition Key
Models: 2010-2014 Chevrolet Camaro

Condition
General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in all 2010-2014 model year Chevrolet Camaro vehicles. There is a risk, under certain conditions, that some drivers may bump the ignition key with their knee and unintentionally move the key away from the “run” position. If this occurs, engine power, and power braking will be affected and power steering may be affected, increasing the risk of a crash. The timing of the key movement out of the “run” position, relative to the activation of the sensing algorithm of the crash event, may result in the airbags not deploying, increasing the potential for occupant injury in certain kinds of crashes.

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.

Correction
Dealers are to remove the key blade from the original flip key/RKE transmitter assemblies provided with the vehicle, and provide two new keys and two key rings per key.

Cool thing is that GM now offers a little insert for the transmitters for appearance purposes. Apparently there was quite a few people that didn't like the "feel" or appearance of the transmitter after the key blade was removed.

As a FYI, this isn't as wide spread as you may think. They highlight two Julian dates in the release. As 2015 wasn't a leap year the Julian dates align to the below production dates.

303 15 = October 30th
340 15 = December 6th

Wonder if these Julian links apply to Production weeks instead of days?

I'm one of those that wasn't happy with how it looked without the key. oh well, that's all in the past for me I love how the key is now cleanly tucked into the transmitter.

I am tall person and have no idea how people were able to knocks those keys out. I refused the update 100 times. Now they ask my Dad every time he stops in as he now owns my old car.

[QUOTE=97one;9096256]Ok, V6 included then, not just V8's.
What date was your car built ?
Thanks

The door sticker said December 15, 2015. Both rear toe links matched the recall and were replaced. The bushings were visually cracked when removed.

Pretty sure the deal with it was the fact that the transmitter would break allowing the key to move freely. If you started the car with the key turned a certain way the transmitter would then point down due to the weight of the other keys on it making it easy to accidentally hit them with your knee, or hitting a bump would cause the car to turn back to the accessory mode. That's how I interpreted it. I've also seen a bunch of broken transmitters that people refuse to replace. Basically the same one on the Equinox, Malibu, and Cruze.

[Dcsimpkins]

My car didn't show a recall online eithier I didn't know there was one on the toe links until my dealer told me at my first oil change

[BadBillyJack]

Maybe because it isn't a recall. It's a service update.

"there have been no failures in the field"

Until that happens it will most likely stay as a service update and not a recall.

[Dcsimpkins]

My paperwork from the work they did showed as a recall and they knew my car required it before they even looked at it. That's why dealer got my parts in before my appt.

I read the congressional investigation report that stated a faulty spring....which should prevent the ignition from being turned off with a slight bump....was installed and instead of replacing all of the ignitions.....they chose to change the key design. The spring should have kept the ignition on unless pushed inward.
