General Motors has issued a recall and stop-sale order for specific Chevrolet Corvette models due to a software defect impacting turn signal notifications. This issue affects certain 2025 and 2026 models and does not meet federal safety requirements.

Recall Details & Safety Concerns

The problem lies within the exterior lighting control module. Faulty software may prevent the driver from being alerted if the rear turn signals stop working correctly. Federal motor vehicle safety standards require both functional turn signals and a clear indication to the driver when a bulb malfunctions.

Affected Models & Numbers

The recall specifically targets model year 2025 and 2026 Chevrolet Corvettes. Approximately 438 units from the 2025 model year and 2,886 vehicles from the 2026 model year are included in the recall campaign, as reported by MotorTrend.

Software Update Remedy

General Motors is offering software updates to resolve the defect. Owners with vehicles equipped for over-the-air (OTA) updates will receive the fix remotely.

For Corvette owners without OTA capabilities, a visit to a local dealership will be necessary. Technicians will manually update the vehicle’s software. Owners can verify if their vehicle is affected by entering their 16-digit VIN on the General Motors recall website.

Recent Safety Focus

This recall follows a recent campaign addressing potential fuel leaks in over 23,000 Corvettes, demonstrating GM’s ongoing commitment to vehicle safety and regulatory compliance. The company emphasizes the importance of promptly addressing any deficiencies that could impact vehicle performance and driver safety.

The recall process aims to ensure all affected owners have access to the necessary repairs. Offering both OTA and in-dealership options provides flexibility and convenience for customers.
