GM Recalls 2015 Chevrolet Corvettes for Rear Suspension Defect

General Motors is recalling 2015 Chevrolet Corvettes because a rear suspension part may not be tightened properly, which could separate and cause a crash.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect in the rear suspension that can lead to loss of steering control and a vehicle crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

General Motors LLC is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles manufactured between September 26, 2014, and October 2, 2014. The recall addresses a defect in the rear suspension where the toe link outer ball joint may not have been properly tightened during assembly.

If the toe link loosens with vehicle use, it may eventually separate. This separation can result in a reduction in vehicle stability and steering control, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace any damaged parts free of charge. The recall began on February 23, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
