corvette recall

General Motors has issued a safety recall on the 2011 and 2012 Chevrolet Corvette for a potentially faulty hinge on the rear hatch. According to both the automaker and the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, hinges on the rear hatch glass of certain Corvette models may fail to comply with NHTSA requirements. GM, which discovered the issue during testing, says the rear hatch may break free in the event of a collision, though there are no known incidents or even owner complaints of the issue. The NHTSA says such an issue could lead to the increased risk for injuries. About 4,000 2011 and 1,700 2012 Chevy Corvettes, built from the end of January 2011 through September 1st, are involved in the recall, which GM began on October 7th. Owners are urged to bring in their vehicle into the dealership for a inspection and the dealership will replace the rear hatch hinges free of charge.
