2018 Chevrolet Corvette: problems, recalls and reliability

“Inside lip of rear wheel cracked and wheel bent beyond repair, per wheel repair company. OEM make and model tire was in place and no noticeable impact was felt to cause this failure. This caused an air leak leaving me stranded at the side of the highway. Had to buy an expensive replacement wheel.”Owner report · Wheels · Jul 2023

“Rear wheel cracked in 4 places inside rim towards outside causing slow leak. Could eventually crack enough to cause wheel to fail.”Owner report · Wheels · Sep 2022

“Purchased the vehicle February 2018. In September 2019, I replaced the tires and within a few days, I started losing air pressure. Both rear wheels cracked. I tried to get GM to honor the 36 month bumper to bumper warranty but they refused. I purchased replacement wheels at my own expense. In June 2022, after 9000 miles, the car started driving rough so I brought it to the dealership. Both the driver side wheels, front and back, are bent.”Owner report · Wheels · Jun 2022

“Deiver rear wheel began loaing air pressure suddenly 1 week ago. Tire pressure would drop around 1 psi/hour. Took to tire shop and no tire problems were identified but the wheel had 3 cracks in the inner wheel lip. Inspection of passenger rear wheel revealed a single crack that had not yet caused tire pressure loss. The wheel cracking issue is well known and a class action lawsuit has been filed but no recall yet. I fear that my safety could have been in jeopardy with a wheel cracking at speed. Problem first identified when starting a stationary vehicle as the tpms notified of a low pressure. Problem continued until I section of wheels identified cracks.”Owner report · Wheels · Oct 2020
