What's wrong, in plain English
Some 2024-2025 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles have a driver seat belt, a passenger seat belt, or both, with a retractor that may lock while the belt is in its stowed position. When this happens, the seat belt becomes inaccessible, meaning the occupant cannot pull it out to buckle up.
What you should do
2. Contact a Chevrolet dealer, or call customer service at 1-800-222-1020.
3. The seat belt retractor replacement is free.
