Chronology :
On September 2, 2021, a GM engineer conducted a warranty inspection of a rear halfshaft recovered from a 2021 Chevrolet Corvette that fractured and caused the vehicle to lose propulsion. Upon inspection, it was found that the halfshaft was missing two of six ball bearings. Discussions with the supplier indicated the supplier may have failed to discover the misbuild due to a potential failure in its inspection process. On October 7, 2021, a GM engineer submitted a report to GM’s Speak Up For Safety (SUFS) program.
On October 16, 2021, the supplier identified 19 VINs containing halfshafts that may have been improperly inspected. GM opened a formal investigation on November 24, 2021. A review of field data completed on January 22, 2022 revealed no additional relevant field incidents. GM is not aware of any injuries or crashes related to this condition. 18 of the 19 vehicles with suspect parts are currently in the U.S. On February 10, 2022, GM’s Safety and Field Action Decision Authority decided to conduct a safety recall for vehicles that may have received suspect rear halfshaft assemblies. On February 17, 2022, the supplier notified GM of six additional affected vehicles that were inadvertently left out of earlier communications. Four of these additional vehicles are in the US.
