GM recalls 2025–2026 Chevrolet Corvette coupes and convertibles over software error that can hide a rear turn signal failure
A software error may stop the car from detecting a failed rear turn signal light, so a driver may not know the signal is not working, which raises the risk of a crash.
What to do
A dealer will update the lighting control software for free, or it may be done through an over-the-air update. Owners can call Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 and cite GM recall number N252541250.
