Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Recalled Over Fire Risk During Refueling: GM Issues Warning to Owners
In Japan, General Motors Japan has officially notified the Ministry of Transport about the launch of a recall campaign affecting Chevrolet Corvette Z06 sports cars.
General Motors Japan has formally informed Japan’s Ministry of Transport that it is launching a recall campaign for the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. The issue involves a potential fire hazard linked to the refueling process. In total, 172 imported vehicles are covered, delivered between November 2022 and May 2025.
The problem stems from overfilling the fuel tank. In such cases, gasoline vapors may escape and be drawn by the engine’s cooling fan toward the radiator. If the radiator is extremely hot, the vapors could settle on its surface and, under certain conditions, ignite.
So far, no fires or related incidents have been reported. Still, GM has decided to act proactively and take preventive measures. Owners of affected vehicles will receive official notices with safety recommendations until a permanent fix is developed. Once engineers determine the technical solution, repairs will be provided free of charge.
This recall highlights General Motors’ commitment to customer safety, showing swift action to address potential risks while keeping owners fully informed of the next steps.
