Recall Alert: 2011-2012 Chevrolet Corvette

In the affected vehicles, the rear hatch hinges may not be in compliance with the federal government’s load requirements.

The recall is already underway. GM says affected owners should have or should expect a notification letter soon. Dealers will replace both rear hatch hinges free of charge. Owners can call Chevy at 800-630-2438 or NHTSA’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 for more info.
