The 580 horsepower Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 production has been halted due to “quality assessment”. All Camaro ZL1 models produced to date are currently being held by General Motors for a quality assessment. At this moment, the duration of the hold is undetermined, and may last a few more weeks.  As soon as the hold is cleared, a note will be sent to all dealers to advise that 2012 Camaro ZL1 shipments are underway.

Subject:
Update on 2012 Camaro ZL1 Shipments and DOSP

The purpose of this note is to provide you with an update on 2012 Camaro ZL1 production and vehicle shipment plans.

All Camaro ZL1 models produced to date are currently being held by General Motors for a quality assessment. At this moment, the duration of the hold is undetermined, and may last a few more weeks. As soon as the hold is cleared, a note will be sent to all dealers to advise that 2012 Camaro ZL1 shipments are underway.

Because of the hold, the upcoming Dealer Order Submission Process (DOSP) cycle that was to be dedicated to ZL1 is being postponed. This DOSP cycle was scheduled to start this Thursday, March 1, 2012, and continues through Tuesday, March 6, 2012. A new date for this DOSP cycle will be provided in the near future.

We regret to have to undertake these actions, especially given the high anticipation for the new Camaro ZL1. We ask for your patience and will continue to keep you posted on any developments regarding production and vehicle shipments from Oshawa.

Sincerely,
Russell M. Clark
Director – Chevrolet Small Cars, Small Utilities and
Performance Cars Marketing

 

About the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1:

The ZL1 engineers thought of everything. Including drivers who want to feel the power of 580 horses as they blow through the air. So, from day one, the architecture of Camaro ZL1 was designed to accommodate a convertible model. Meaning you get the chance to take the roof off while preserving nearly all of the acceleration, road-hugging, high-performance capabilities of the ZL1 coupe.
