Is my product affected?

2015 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

  • Brand CHEVROLET

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

General Motors is recalling certain 2015 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles manufactured between August 20, 2014, and September 4, 2014. In these vehicles, one of the rear parking brake cables may not be fully seated and engaged on its brake drum, causing the parking brake to operate on only one rear wheel instead of both. This defect creates a risk that the vehicle could roll away if parked on a steep slope, potentially causing a crash.

GM will notify owners and arrange for dealers to inspect and correct the parking brake cable installation at no cost. The recall began on October 31, 2014. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 with recall number 14620 to schedule their inspection and repair.

Details from the source

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles manufactured August 20, 2014, to September 4, 2014. In the affected vehicles, only one of the rear parking brake cables may be fully seated and engaged, resulting in the parking brake only operating on one of the rear park brake drums. Without the parking brake working on both rear wheels, the vehicle may roll away if parked on a steep gradient. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."
