What this recall means for you
Hard braking or hard acceleration can cause the airbag control module (the sensing diagnostic module) in certain 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 vehicles to enter a fault state. When that happens, the module stops sensing crashes and may not deploy the airbags in a collision.
If the airbags do not deploy as designed, occupants face a higher risk of injury in a crash. Owners should take this recall seriously and have the repair completed promptly.
The fix is free: GM will notify owners, and an authorized Chevrolet dealer will reprogram the sensing diagnostic module with updated software at no charge. You can also contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (GM recall number 18195), and check your VIN for open recalls.
