2024-2025 Chevrolet Corvette seat belt retractors may lock and become inaccessible

GM is recalling 2024-2025 Chevrolet Corvettes because front seat belt retractors may lock and become inaccessible. This prevents seat belts from restraining occupants in a crash, increasing injury risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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: Seat belt malfunction directly affects crash safety and occupant restraint. No injuries have been reported, but the potential for serious harm in a crash qualifies this as high-severity per the rubric's criterion for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
