What's wrong, in plain English

General Motors is recalling certain Corvette vehicles because the driver's seat belt retractor may not lock as intended. This means the seat belt might not hold the driver securely in place the way it's designed to during a crash.

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is affected. 2. Contact a Chevrolet dealer or GM customer service at 1-866-522-9559. 3. Replacement of the driver's side seat belt retractor is free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 20V581000.
