  1. AIR BAGSNHTSA 18V360000May 31, 2018

    General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 vehicles. Hard braking or acceleration may cause the sensing diagnostic module (SDM) to enter a fault state. As a result, the SDM will not provide crash sensing or deploy the necessary air bags in the event of a crash.

    Consequence: In the event of a crash, if the air bags do not deploy as designed, the occupants have an increased risk of injury.

    Remedy

    GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the SDM with updated software, free of charge. The recall began on June 29, 2018. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 18195.

Reliability verdict for the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette

The 2019 Chevrolet Corvette posts a 56/100 reliability score versus a 77/100 segment average, placing it below the class norm and signaling elevated buyer risk. Recall activity is limited, but the overall complaint volume is high relative to its score, suggesting day-to-day ownership outcomes are less consistent than most peers.

Complaints are heavily concentrated in one area: wheels account for the clear majority of reported problems, while powertrain, engine, steering, and fuel/propulsion issues appear comparatively infrequent. That pattern points to a dominant weak spot rather than broad-based system unreliability, but the concentration is large enough to materially weigh on the model’s reliability profile. As the final year of its generation, the data still reflects a below-average result.

Overall risk level: elevated.
