Recall: Chevrolet Sonic for dragging fuel tank, Camaro for peeling labels

General Motors is recalling 18,941 Chevrolet Camaro coupes in the U.S. to reapply airbag warning labels on the sun visors. On some 2013 and 2014 models, the label -- required by the government to warn that children can be injured or killed by airbags -- can peel off. Dealers will reapply the labels later this month.

Also, GM is recalling 1,227 Chevrolet Sonic models from 2013 and 2014 for fuel tank support brackets that can break and cause the tank to drag on the exhaust pipe. The tank could then completely fall out of the car, which would bring obvious consequences. GM said it had no dealer or owner complaints regarding the problem after discovering it during assembly in August. Dealers will replace the problematic fuel tank bracket if needed at a date to be determined later, GM said.

Between December 2011 and January 2013, GM recalled the 2012 Sonic four times for missing brake pads, faulty airbags and windshield washer problems. The 2012 Camaro was also part of the airbag recall in January.
