General Motors Australia has issued a recall for 134 units of the Corvette Z06, built between 2022-2025. It is looking at the Z06 variant due to a design flaw with the fuel filler pocket.
What’s the defect, and why is it so serious?
According to the recall report, the defective design may cause the fuel spilled into the fuel filler pocket whilst refuelling to come in contact with an ignition source resulting in a fire. This poses a serious threat to both the vehicle as well as its occupants.
