General Motors Doesn’t Recall Corvettes, Stops Shipments And Sales Instead


Remember how General Motors promised that it is totally done with recalling cars? Well, strictly speaking that’s true, because the company is not recalling any 2015 Corvettes. They’re stopping shipments and sales of cars that are currently on dealer lots, because there may be problems with their parking brakes and airbags. There are 2,800 ‘vettes that may have problems with their airbags, and 800 that may have problems with their parking brakes.

Specifically, the air bag problem is an issue with the part that connects the steering wheel and the air bag. The parking brake problem is one where only one of the vehicle’s brakes engaged on the wheel.


The 2015 Corvette has been very popular, and sales are up, but the company hasn’t recalled vehicles that have already been sold. The company hasn’t indicated that 2015 Corvettes that have already been sold have issues: it’s only the vehicles in batches that are either en route to dealers or on lots that have problems.
