[VIDEO] GM Issues Service Bulletin for 2024 Corvette Z06s Delivered with Incorrect Front Splitter


Normally when we talk about Corvettes delivered with incorrect parts like the we saw previously with a two-tone boomerang or a Stingray badge on the rear deck of a Z06, we can usually chalk that up to being a simple one-time mistake. Sometimes we even suggest that a factory error is fun to leave on the car, as long as it doesn’t take away from the owner’s appreciation of his or her’s fine new ride.

However, we just learned of a factory error that is more than just a one-off mistake, and GM has even issued a service bulletin over it. The service bulletin is #PIC6545 and it’s titled: “Incorrect Front Splitter from Factory on Z06 (April 16, 2024)”. A big thanks to our friend Justin at Horsepower Obsessed for sluething this one out and getting his hands on the actual TSB.

You can see an example of a Z06 delivered with the wrong front splitter below:

The service bulletin says the issue is for the 2024s and there are no VIN breaks for the cars affected. Here are the details:

Condition
Some vehicles with RPO CFV were incorrectly kitted at the factory and received the three pice front splitter in painted carbon fiber instead of the intended exposed weave carbon fiber. The front dive planes are typically correct as shown in the included picture.

Cause
Under Investigation

Correction
Ask the customer if the want to recieve the vehicle with the incorrect front splitter and return later for the correct part, or wait for the correct one before delivery. If could be a few weeks for the parts to arrive. Order the exposed weave parts as listed in the part number section below. Create a SPAC case if parts are out of stock.

Justin learned about the issue last week as a highly-optioned 2024 Corvette Z06 was brought to his Blackout Tint shop in Pennsylvania. The car is optioned with every visible carbon fiber option including the wheels, rear wing, side rockers, dive planes, roof, and mirror caps. So when you see the front splitter in painted carbon flash black, it’s very noticeable.

Compounding the issue is that these parts are still highly in demand, and therefore as the TSB mentioned, there could be a delay lasting weeks in getting the correct parts. The Z06 front splitter is a three-piece design and the dealer told the owner of this particular Z06 that he can get each of the side pieces but the center portion is backordered.

Here’s Justin at HPO sharing the video of the Z06 with the mismatched front splitter:

  1. With as many employees who would have to see these cars in the assembly plant how is it possible for them to leave the plant with a mistake like this? Where is the quality control?

  2. Waited 9 months for my 2SS 1LE 6 speed Camaro. The drivers door gap was horrible.
    The top of the door did not come close to matching the window seal on the back window. So bad that the dealer gave me a complete refund on the car. How was this NOT seen at the factory. Easy answer they do NOT care.
