Buying a used 2021 Chevrolet Corvette? Check these 2 recalls first
Only two recalls on this year: half-shafts that can fail and cost drive power, and an airbag warning light that may not illuminate. The complaint file is small — 12 unverified reports to NHTSA — but 7 of them fall under power train, the same area as the half-shaft recall, so the two may describe related trouble. Electrical accounts for 4 more. One crash and one injury were reported, no fires.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Get documentation that the half-shaft recall repair was performed
- Confirm the airbag warning light illuminates at startup
- Ask about any loss of drive power or drivetrain vibration
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
