When recovering or transporting a Chevrolet Camaro, the under vehicle components may be damaged if the
recommended towing and securing steps are not followed.
This damage would not be covered by the vehicle warranty.
Important: DO NOT hook, pull or secure the vehicle using any of the under body or suspension
components. Ensure this information is provided to the towing person(s) or sublet towing company to
prevent damage to the vehicle.

Correction
1.

Recover/transport the vehicle only on a flatbed car carrier. A wheel lift tow truck could damage the vehicle.

2.

Once the vehicle is on the flatbed, secure the vehicle to the bed using a nylon strap type harness over all four tires. These harnesses must be secured
as shown.

3.

If it is necessary to use the flat bed mounted winch to recover the vehicle, use the following steps to attach the vehicle to the recovery winch.

1

3.1. Locate the recovery tow eye, secured in the rear compartment storage area.
Note: If the vehicle has not been through the Pre Delivery Inspection (PDI), the hook may be in the plastic bag in the rear compartment.

3.2. Locate the tow eye socket on the right side of the vehicle in the lower front grille.

Note: Some models you need to carefully open the cover in the front grille by using the small notches located along the top of the grille that conceals
the tow eye socket. Use care to not damage the paint or the grille.

2

3.3. Install the tow eye into the socket by turning it clockwise until it stops.
3.4. Attach the recovery cable to the installed tow eye and load the vehicle on to the flatbed.
3.5. Remove the recovery cable and the tow eye and re-secure the tow eye in the rear compartment floor storage area.
4.

If the vehicle needs to be flat towed at low (parking lot) speeds, use the tow eye as described above. Use caution and very low speed to prevent
damage to the vehicle.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of conditions that may
occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools,
safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that
your vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
