Corvette recall: GM pulls vehicles over faulty software issue
GM says a software update can fix the defect, which affects 438 2025 Corvettes and 2,886 2026 models.
- General Motors issued a recall and stop-sale order for 3,324 Chevrolet Corvettes due to a software fault in the Rear Brake Light Outage Detection system that prevents drivers from receiving alerts when rear turn signals fail.
- Citing Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration noted that vehicles must notify drivers if turn signals malfunction, and the current software fails to provide this critical warning, violating compliance requirements.
- Approximately 438 of the 2025 Chevrolet Corvettes and 2,886 of the 2026 models are affected; General Motors confirmed that 2026 vehicles can receive an over-the-air software update while a patch for 2025 models remains under development.
- Owners can verify if their vehicle is impacted by entering the 16-digit VIN at the General Motors recall website; those without over-the-air capabilities must visit a dealership for manual software installation.
- This software recall follows recent safety actions involving fuel leaks on other Corvette models, as some observers suggest that relying on computer modules for basic exterior lighting functions introduces unnecessary complexity, describing such "improvement" as features that make modern cars worse.
