Since last November, distributors located in the states of California and Washington in the United States cannot order new 2021 models of the Chevrolet Camaro SS, ZL1 y ZL1 LE. Restrictions also apply to both coupe and convertible body versions.
How could it be otherwise, the problem is related to environmental pollution, but not because of what its engines produce, but rather its braking system. Specifically due to the emissions caused by copper brake pads equipped in various versions of the 2021 Camaro.
Strict regulations
As published GM Authority, “Due to restrictions in California and Washington state related to copper brake pads, customers in those states will not be able to order a 2021 Camaro SS, ZL1 and 1LE for delivery after January 1, 2021”, confirms Senior Manager, Chevrolet Cars and Crossover Communications at General Motors, Kevin M. Kelly, who adds “However, customers can buy these models if there are Stock available at distributors in both states “.
This decision is temporary, since GM is already working on a new braking system that meets the strict environmental regulations that apply in these regions.
“Customers in the State of California and Washington will have the Camaro SS, ZL1 and 1LE 2022 denominated models available when we introduce a new brake system that meets copper requirements.”Kelly added.
Although General Motors has not specified more, it is assumed that the problem has to do with the new Brembo brakes offered in the mentioned models. They are high-performance systems that have encountered an unforeseen problem, because yes, the brakes, due to friction, also cause polluting emissions.
