The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has published a recall affecting the 2002 Chevrolet Camaro & 2002 Pontiac Firebird.

Potential Number of Units Affected: 897

Manufactured: October - November 2001

Defect: Certain passenger vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208, "Occupant Crash Protection," and No. 214, "Side Impact Protection." These vehicles may have welds near the lower driver's side door hinge that do not meet specifications. In a crash, an occupant could receive severe injuries.
