What is being recalled
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles manufactured September 26, 2014, to October 2, 2014. In the affected vehicles the toe link outer ball joint on the rear suspension may not have been properly tightened during the assembly process. The Toe link may loosen with the vehicle use and eventually separate.
Why it is dangerous
A toe link separation can result in a reduction in vehicle stability and steering control, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
