US EditionWhat's the Most-Stolen Car in America? Check Out the Full List
ARKANSAS, UNITED STATES, AUG 7 – The Camaro ZL1’s theft rate surged due to key code cloning via diagnostic ports, prompting General Motors to issue a free software update that cut theft claims by 52%, HLDI reported.
- Between 2022 and 2024, the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 was the vehicle with the highest per capita theft rate in the United States, being targeted by thieves at a frequency 39 times greater than the typical car.
- This surge resulted from the Camaro's high horsepower, desirability to thieves, and a vulnerability allowing key code cloning via on-board diagnostic ports.
- The standard Camaro also featured among the top five, stolen at 13 times the average rate, while muscle cars and expensive, powerful vehicles dominated the list.
- General Motors released a free security software update in March 2025 for 2020 to 2024 Camaros, which reduced theft claims by 52% after installation at dealerships.
- These theft trends and mitigation efforts suggest ongoing risks for high-performance cars but also demonstrate that targeted software updates can significantly reduce theft rates.
