GM Issues Stop Sale On 2015 Corvettes In 67th Recall This Year

GM Issues Stop Sale On 2015 Corvettes In 67th Recall This Year
General Motors is issuing two more recalls, both on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette, according to stop-delivery orders sent to dealers today.

The recalls, GM’s first in more than a month, bring its total number for the year to 67. They cover problems with airbags and parking brake cables on a total of nearly 2,800 cars, though very few have been sold to customers, a GM spokesman said.

Neither recall has been announced publicly yet, and parts are not available for the airbag repair. They come amid strong sales of the redesigned Corvette Stingray, forcing dealers to turn down potential buyers until the problems are resolved. GM sold 2,679 Corvettes in August vs. 655 during the same month last year.

Ugh for f-ks sake. Oh well, at least they found the problem now rather than later.

Didn't VW did the same thing a few months ago with the GTI? Matt isn't this thing supposed to be "incredibly" reliable?

BTW that is a nice looking Vette in the picture.

Another interesting statement: "a total of nearly 2,800 cars, though very few have been sold to customers, a GM spokesman said." Interpretation - - - no one is buying.

They've mostly all been sold. It's not a good wording. They've just not all been DELIVERED to customers. The 2015s were only released following initial quality checks recently. Maybe last week we saw the first few reach their intended owners. The rest are still en-route or ready to ship etc. Which means that either they're not leaving Bowling Green without a fix, or if they're already on their way they'll be fixed at the dealer prior to being handed over.

But trust me the vast majority are still sold orders.

To compensate, 67th Recall Edition might come out.

Yeah, the new Vette can barely be found in dealers in my area. One friend got a coupe the other the roadster. Both just amazing cars for the price. Too bad for the recall, though, but it wont' taint the sales a bit
