2025 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Complaints and Recall Information
The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette has 4 complaints and 6 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report water intrusion through a gap in the rear glass allowing heat loss and moisture inside the vehicle. Another complaint involves failure of the Forward Collision Avoidance system to activate when engaged. One owner also raised concerns about fuel spillage entering the air intake, a condition related to an existing recall.
Common Issues- Rear glass gap. A one-inch gap at the rear glass allows heat to escape and water to enter the engine compartment and interior during rain, with no warning lights illuminated. Dealer did not diagnose or repair the issue.
- Water intrusion. Water entering the vehicle while driving in rain was observed, linked to the rear glass gap issue. No service resolution was provided.
- Forward Collision Avoidance failure. The system failed to activate after the alert button was pressed. The cause was undetermined and the vehicle remained unrepaired.
- Fuel filler spillage risk. Excess fuel spills into the fuel filler pocket and drains into the left-side air intake fan compartment, potentially creating a fire risk. The issue overlaps with recall 25V536 but the complaint highlights exclusion of certain models from the recall.
Six recalls affect various systems including the fuel system, seat belts, and more. Recall actions primarily involve fuel spill protection and seat belt retractor replacements among others.
Recalls- Fuel system. Recall 25V536000 affects 23,656 vehicles. Excess fuel may spill into the fuel-filler pocket and contact an ignition source, increasing fire risk. Dealers will install a shield to divert spilled fuel free of charge. Owner notification began in October 2025.
- Seat belt retractors. Recall 24V418000 affects 13,464 vehicles. Driver and passenger seat belt retractors may lock in a stowed position making the belts inaccessible. Dealers will replace affected retractors at no cost. Owner letters were sent in September 2024.
Owners with repeated repairs, unresolved recalls, or safety defects may have rights under their state lemon law. Those facing ongoing issues should consider consulting consumer protection resources for guidance.

ID: 2124865FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Please refer to Part 573 Safety Recall Report 25V536. This report seeks to bring to the attention of the NHTSA that additional General Motors, LLC Chevrolet Corvette Models NOT INCLUDED in the Recall Report are virtually identical in design and having the identical safety issue. THE ISSUE: Excess fuel spilled into the fuel filler pocket drains directly into the left-side fan equipped air intake. The air intake is equipped with a thermostatically controlled fan that remains running after engine shutdown if the engine temperature trigger threshold is met. While Safety Recall 25V536 limits the issue to those models equipped with a "radiator/fan combination", to exclude the "fan only" models (Stingray Z51 Equipped in particular) from the recall due to not containing an "ignition source" is short-sighted to state the least in my opinion. Any electric motor is an ignition source as power (typically 12VDC in an automobile) is delivered through "brushes" to an armature that excites the magnetic fields between opposing magnets. The assumption that the addition of a radiator (essentially a sealed cavity have no spark potential) creates an ignition source combination is short-sighted at the least and criminally negligent at best. I am the owner of a 2025 Stingray with a Z51 package. After reviewing 25V536, I conducted a test on my vehicle by pouring water into the fuel filler pocket and monitored where that water went. The test results made it clear to me that to exclude the Stingray is a mistake. Video test results are attached.
