General Motors LLC "GM" is recalling certain 2020 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles. The release button located inside the front trunk compartment may not function after the vehicle has been shut off for ten minutes. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 401, "Internal Trunk Release."
If a person climbs inside the front trunk compartment and closes the lid, they may be trapped inside, increasing the risk of injury.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software in the vehicle's Body Control Module "BCM" to allow the release switch to always work, free of charge. Owners also may allow the vehicle to be remedied via an Over-The-Air "OTA" software update. The recall began September 3, 2020. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-866-522-9559. GM's number for this recall is N202309350.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
