How many recalls does the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette have?

NHTSA lists 1 recall for the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette model year. Whether one car had the recall work done depends on that car, so check its VIN with NHTSA.

1995: 35 owner complaints, Worthy

Our take: the data says look elsewhere. Owners filed 3.1 times the complaints of a typical year of this model.

Year verdict

Pass, meaning Skip

3.1× a typical year

Skip this year if you can.

Confidence: Medium

NHTSA did not answer for 1 year, so the typical year may shift.

NHTSA did not answer for 1 year, so this may change.

Past 100,000 miles

Not judged

Too young to judge at high mileage. Most 2019 cars have not reached 100,000 miles yet, so their problems past it have not shown up.

How the dial was counted

Year verdict: Typical year: 46 complaints, the median of 8 nearby years. Each counted over its first 8 years from January 2018; this one had 144.

Same car, better year: 2018 or 2020 Corvette (both Worthy)

When problems show up

Wheels and tires: the middle complaint around 10,000 miles

The bar holds the middle half of the complaints that gave a mileage; the dark mark is the middle one. 69 complaints of 148 gave one. Owners file when something fails, so this shows when problems were reported, not how long the cars last. These cars are young, so problems at higher miles have not had time to show.

Wheels and tires5,000 to 15,000 mi
Half of these 59 complaints came between about 5,000 and 15,000 miles, the middle one around 10,000.

Will it outlast the loan?

The month of your loan each problem zone lands in

Not enough owner complaints for the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette mention a mileage to lay against a loan. Have a mechanic look it over all the same.

Recalls

1 recall on file

Not every car needs every fix. Run the VIN at NHTSA to see which are still open. Repairs are usually free at a dealer for the brand; ask before any work.

Air bags
May 31, 2018 · Recall 18V360000
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 vehicles. Hard braking or acceleration may cause the sensing diagnostic module (SDM) to enter a fault state. As a result, the SDM will not provide crash sensing or deploy the necessary air bags in the event of a crash.
What can happen
In the event of a crash, if the air bags do not deploy as designed, the occupants have an increased risk of injury.
The fix
GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the SDM with updated software, free of charge. The recall began on June 29, 2018. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 18195.

Before you buy this one

5 checks, with a close look at the wheels and tires

Built from this year's numbers. Whatever the data says, the car in front of you is the one that counts.

Run the VIN at NHTSA to confirm every recall was fixed.
This year has 1 recall on file. Recall repairs are usually free at a dealer for the brand. Ask the dealer to confirm before any work is done. Look up a VIN at NHTSA.
Ask the seller for the service records.
Look closely for any work on the wheels and tires. It is the part owners complain about most for this year.
Have a mechanic you trust inspect it before you pay.
Ask them to look at the wheels and tires first.
Look at a vehicle history report.
It can show reported crashes, flood or salvage titles, and mileage that does not add up.
On the test drive, pay attention to the wheels and tires.
Look at how the tires are wearing, and feel for shaking at highway speed.

What a paid report adds

A history report such as Carfax or AutoCheck pulls in more of the car’s past than these checks can:

Crashes and damage reported by police, insurers or shops, even when it was fixed.
Service visits that shops reported, with the miles each time.
How many owners, for how long, and the states it was registered in.
Whether it was a rental, fleet or lease car, when that was reported.

It only knows what was reported to it. A clean report is not proof of a clean car. Ask the seller first: many dealers hand one over for free.

Red flags in a history

Salvage title
Usually an insurer called it a total loss. In most states it cannot be driven on the road until it is rebuilt and inspected.
Rebuilt title
A salvage car that was fixed and passed a state check. It can be fine, but it is worth less, can be harder to insure, and needs a careful inspection.
Flood damage
Water can ruin wiring and sensors months later. Be wary of a flood brand that vanished after a move to another state.
Lemon or maker buyback
The maker bought it back over a defect it could not fix. Ask what the defect was and how it was fixed.
Odometer rollback
A mileage reading lower than an earlier one, or a title marked not actual miles.
Many owners, fast
Three owners in two years can mean a problem each one passed along.
Gaps in the records
Years with no service or registration. Ask why: it may have sat, been off the road, or been rebuilt.

Title words and rules differ by state. Not legal advice.
