GM Recall for Airbag Malfunction Light Affects Multiple Vehicles Including the 2021 Corvette


Thanks to a member of the Corvette Forum, we have learned that GM will be issuing a recall for certain 2021 model year vehicles, and the list includes the Chevrolet Corvette. GM has alerted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to the software defect, though the NHTSA still doesn’t have any official information yet.

Texas-based tuning shop Hennessey Performance knows a thing or two about making Chevy’s Corvette sound better and it usually comes with a hefty upgrade in performance.
