Other wheel or tire problem on the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro
2 crashes 1 injury 3 of the 12 reports for this failure mention a crash, a fire, an injury or a death. Those are the owner's words on the complaint form, not a verified finding, and one report can mention more than one.
When other wheel or tire problem gets reported
Owners of the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro report other wheel or tire problem at a median of 20,000 miles. A quarter of the reports come in before 15,000 miles and a quarter after 35,000 miles, from 11 reports that carried an odometer reading.
A part like this is normally expected to survive 60,000 miles. It is the 6th most-reported problem on this model year.
The mileage distribution
The reported range runs from 5,000 miles at the tenth percentile to 85,000 miles at the ninetieth, a spread of 84,756 miles across the middle 80% of reports.
A spread this wide points at use rather than design. Towing, climate, service history and city mileage all move a failure like this, so the median is a weak guide to any individual car.
73% of the dated reports were filed under 36,000 miles.
The whole distribution
| 10th | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2,700 miles | 13,750 miles | 21,435 miles | 36,248 miles | 87,456 miles |
Read the 10th percentile as “one report in ten arrived this early”. Exact figures are shown in this table because it is the table of record; everywhere else on the site they are rounded to the precision the sample can carry.
What a percentile can and cannot tell you here
These five numbers describe the readings owners gave, in order. The median is the middle one: half the reports arrived below it. The 10th and 90th are the edges of the bulk of the distribution, and the distance between them is the part worth reading. A tight spread — say 70,000 to 95,000 miles — points at something that wears out on a schedule, and the schedule is knowable. A wide one, 20,000 to 190,000, points at a fault that hits some cars and never troubles others, which means the mileage on the listing in front of you tells you very little about your odds.
What these figures are not is a survival curve. Every reading here comes from a car whose owner filed a complaint, so the sample contains only failures: it cannot say what share of the fleet made it past 150,000 miles untouched, because those owners had nothing to report. Nor is the mileage the moment of failure — it is the odometer reading as recalled at the time of filing, which may be weeks later and is sometimes rounded to the nearest ten thousand by the person typing it.
Percentiles are shown at all only once 8 readings exist for the vehicle and mode. Below that the middle of a handful of numbers is noise wearing a decimal point, so the figures are withheld rather than dressed up.
What happens, and what it costs
Of these reports, 2 a crash and 1 an injury are mentioned. Owners write their own complaints and the agency does not verify them, so read this as what the reports say happened rather than as a confirmed count.
Putting it right typically runs $200–$1,500 at an independent US shop. That range is an editorial estimate held in this site's failure-mode catalogue, not a figure from NHTSA, and it is a repair cost rather than a diagnosis cost.
The same failure on other years
The same failure is reported on 10 model years of this car. It shows up earliest on the 2012, at a median of 5,000 miles, and latest on the 1999 at 70,000 miles.
By volume the 2010 carries the most reports, with 12; the 2011 has 12. A mode that appears across most years of a model is usually a design choice rather than a bad batch.
If one year stands out to the left, that is the year to avoid; if the whole line sits at a similar mileage, this is wear rather than a defect in one production run.

What owners wrote
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The mileage is the one the owner gave.
2011 camaro tires do not grip the road properly & low temperatures like here in n.y. During the winter months. I just purchased this vehicle & at no point was I told that the tires are for summer use only. This is my only vehicle & has to be used all year round. I did not think spending top dollar for a performance vehicle was going to mean that I could only operate it safely 8 months out of the year??? This vehicle was shipped to ny, to be sold in ny! Why would this happen? The tires cannot be trusted & I fear it will cause someone there life. *tr
The tires on my 2011 chevy camaro (and other models) are perelli p-zero tires which are "summer" tires as indicated by the manufacturers. These tires are not recommended for near freezing temps. The auto manufacturer failed to inform me the tires (which are stock) are only recommended for warm weather. I believe the manufacturer has not informed most customers of the situation. My research indicates these tires exhibit more problems with handling in cold temps as tire wear increases. The manufacturer of the auto has indicated to me that their engineers are confident these tires are safe, but the tire manufacturer continues to recommend against using these tires in near freezing temps. As most of the continental usa is exposed to near freezing and below freezing temps, I am concerned these tires will result in crashes which could be avoided if the auto manufacturer provided proper tires for our climate. This is a problem which may go unnoticed as most accidents go un-investigated or an investigator will not consider the temps were near or below freezing at the time of the accident. *tr

How far this goes
Complaints are voluntary, so 12 is a floor and not a count of affected cars. Mileages are typed in by owners and cluster on round numbers. And the mode itself is assigned by software reading the complaint text, which is reliable in bulk and fallible one report at a time.
Questions this page answers
At what mileage does other wheel or tire problem happen on the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro?
Across 11 owner reports that included an odometer reading, half were filed by 20,000 miles. A quarter were filed before 15,000 miles and a quarter after 35,000 miles. These are the mileages owners reported when they complained, not a prediction for any individual car.
How common is other wheel or tire problem on the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro?
12 reports have been filed with NHTSA, about 0.3 per 1,000 vehicles. Complaints are voluntary, so this is a floor rather than a count of affected cars.
What this is and is not. These are the mileages at which owners chose to complain to a federal agency, which is not the same as the mileage at which the part fails on every car. It skews toward failures that happened outside warranty, cost real money, or frightened someone. It is still the only public dataset that carries failure mileage at all, and the shape of a few hundred readings is informative even when a single one is not.
