Overview

  • NHTSA recall 25V536000 covers 23,656 2023–2026 Corvettes with a left-side radiator and fan layout, including Z06 and ZR1 variants.
  • Excess fuel can pool in the filler pocket during refueling and be drawn onto hot components by the left cooling fan, creating a fire hazard.
  • Chevrolet will install a diverter shield at no charge, with initial safety letters to owners scheduled for October 6 and a follow-up once repairs are available.
  • GM has imposed a stop-sale on affected Z06 and ZR1 models on dealer lots until the remedy parts arrive.
  • GM cites four fires tied to fueling spills, including two linked to a faulty gas pump, with minor injuries reported; the E-Ray is not affected and some exported Stingray cars are included.
