What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (air bag deployment causing neck injury) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

General Motors LLC is recalling certain model year 2014 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles manufactured between November 20, 2013, and March 25, 2014. This recall affects vehicles equipped with optional sport seats. The seats do not meet internal specifications for injury protection in relation to an unbelted young child.

In the event of a crash necessitating side impact air bag deployment, an unbelted young child may be at an increased risk of neck injury. Owners should not allow small children to ride in vehicles unbelted or in the front passenger seat.

GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger's side impact air bag, free of charge. The recall began in early August 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
