Chevrolet Corvette Recalls (2011-2026)
The Chevrolet Corvette has been the subject of 22 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2011 to 2026 model years. They cluster mostly around the air bags, seat belts, and electrical system.
The Chevrolet Corvette scores 48 out of 100 (grade C), a roughly average recall record. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 86% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 23% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 22 campaigns span 15 model years of the Chevrolet Corvette. The single largest affected 3,640,162 vehicles, over air bags. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common Corvette problems owners report.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Chevrolet Corvette may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.

While being previously remedied for recall 16V-651, the affected vehicles may not have received the complete software update necessary to remedy the recall condition. Without the update, certain driving conditions may cause the air bag sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) software to activate a diagnostic test. During this test, deployment of the frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners would not occur in the event of a crash.
Risk: A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the SDM software. Vehicles that have had a previous air bag deployment will have the SDM replaced.

- The Chevrolet Corvette has 22 recall campaigns from the 2011 to 2026 model years. A single campaign often covers several model years at once, so the number of recalls is not the same as the number of years affected.
- What is the most serious Chevrolet Corvette recall?
- The most serious recall on record involves the air bags, affecting 3,640,162 vehicles. A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.
- Which Chevrolet Corvette model year has the most recalls?
- The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette has the most, with 5 recall campaigns on record. Older model years often pick up more recalls over time, since defects can surface years after a car is built.
- How do I check if my Chevrolet Corvette has an open recall?
- Enter your 17-digit VIN on the recall check page. It returns the recalls tied to your exact vehicle straight from NHTSA. Recall repairs are free at a franchised dealer, with no expiration on most safety recalls.
Recall data comes from NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation. For how it is sourced and how the safety score is built, see the methodology and data sources. This page is a reference, not legal or safety advice.
