Airbag system issue
AIR BAGS: AIR BAG/RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 vehicles. Hard braking or acceleration may cause the sensing diagnostic module (SDM) to enter a fault state. As a result, the SDM will not provide crash sensing or deploy the necessary air bags in the event of a crash.
Consequence
In the event of a crash, if the air bags do not deploy as designed, the occupants have an increased risk of injury.
Full campaign recordRemedy
GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the SDM with updated software, free of charge. The recall began on June 29, 2018. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 18195.
