Corvette Sales Stall: Turn Signal Glitch Halts New Models
5 Apr
Summary
- GM has placed a sales hold on 2025 and 2026 Corvettes.
- An issue with the turn signal warning system is the cause.
- 3,324 Corvette C8 models are affected by this problem.
General Motors has officially placed a sales hold on all 2025 and 2026 Corvette models. This action stems from a detected issue with the vehicle's system that is supposed to notify drivers if their rear turn signal bulbs stop working. The problem affects a total of 3,324 Corvette C8 vehicles, prompting GM to issue a stop-sale order to dealerships.
This defect is considered a significant safety concern, as it directly relates to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108, which mandates driver notification for turn signal failures. While GM is developing a solution, a fix has not yet been deployed. The company anticipates that the issue, likely a software-related one, will be resolved via an update.
Owners of 2026 Corvettes may receive an over-the-air software update to address the problem. However, 2025 model owners will likely need to visit a dealership for the necessary software remedy once it becomes available. The exact timeline for these updates remains uncertain. Affected current owners can verify their vehicle's status using GM recall number N252541250 or NHTSA recall number 26V213.
