General Motors (GM) is recalling more than 23,000 Chevrolet Corvettes due to a fuel leak issue, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that excess fuel could be spilled into the cars’ fuel-filler pocket during refueling, possibly leaking onto an ignition source and increasing the risk of fire.
The defect was tied to four alleged fires, identified by GM’s probe, with two that “included evidence indicating that the filling station pump was malfunctioning and caused a fuel spill at the time of the incident.”
The recall encompasses Corvette models from 2023 to 2025, the NHTSA reported. About 0.1 percent of the recalled vehicles contain the defect, the auto agency said.
