The short answer
NHTSA received General Motors LLC’s report on Sep 17, 2014. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 19, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
If the parking brake cable isn’t fully seated and engaged on both of the rear park brake drums, the vehicle may roll away if parked on a steep gradient, increasing the risk of a crash.
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles manufactured August 20, 2014, to September 4, 2014.
In the affected vehicles, only one of the rear parking brake cables may be fully seated and engaged, resulting in the parking brake only operating on one of the rear park brake drums.
Without the parking brake working on both rear wheels, the vehicle may roll away if parked on a steep gradient.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 135, “Light Vehicle Brake Systems.”
