I have a 2015 z51 corvette and my windshield has a crack in it.I called Chevrolet and they said never heard that before.I have seen at least a hundred different people talking about the same incident.I feel GM should be having a recall for safety reasons.It is not a stone chip it is a crack from the top on the inside. I feel this is very unsafe and GM is just not addressing the he problem.Thank you for your time. [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THE WINDSHIELD IN THE C7 CORVETTES CRACK FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE, AND IT SEEMS THAT GM/CHEVROLET IS COMPLETELY IGNORING IT. SEE MORE INFO HERE: HTTPS://WWW.CORVETTEFORUM.COM/FORUMS/C7-GENERAL-DISCUSSION/3946004-2016-Z06-WINDSHIELD-CRACK-IS-IT-COMMON.HTML A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH ( CORVETTE WINDSHIELD CRACKS FROM INSIDE ) AND YOU WILL FIND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. APPARENTLY, THERE IS SOME KIND OF WELDING/MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CAUSES RUBBING ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING THEM TO CRACK. THIS CAN OBSTRUCT THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER AND IS UNSAFE. MY CAR HAS DONE THE SAME THING. WHEN CONTACTING THE DEALER, WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS NOT A RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN AND SO IT WILL BE OUT-OF-POCKET REPAIR AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

WINDSHIELD MOUNTING STRESS CRACK. WHILE INSIDE MY GARAGE TODAY, I FOUND A LARGE 25 INCH LONG CRACK IN THE UPPER DRIVERS SIDE CORNER OF MY 2015 CORVETTE. UPON INSPECTION THE CRACK IS ON THE INSIDE LAYER OF THE 2 LAYER GLASS. NOTHING FELL ON THE CAR AND I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT FOR 6 MONTHS. BEING FRIENDS WITH OTHER CORVETTE OWNERS, I SPOKE WITH THEM AND WAS SENT TO THE 'CORVETTEFORUM ' ONLINE. I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL OF CAR. WHILE SOME OWNERS ARE COVERED FOR REPLACEMENT BY GM DEALERSHIPS UNDER WARRANTY. MANY OWNERS ARE NOT COVERED EVEN THO THEY HAVE VERY LOW MILEAGE. MY CAR, 6 YEARS OLD AND 27,000 MILES. THE FORUMS DISCUSSES OWNERS DISMAY AND SAFETY CONCERNS, AND HOW COULD SO MANY CORVETTE C7S HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, AND GM NOT ISSUING A RECALL OR SOMETHING TO HELP ALL THE OWNERS. THESE CRACKING WINDSHIELDS POSE A SAFETY AND LEGAL ISSUE IF DRIVEN. IT IS NOT AN ACT OF GOD THAT CAUSED THE CRACKS, BUT A MISALIGNED GUIDE PIN OR TAB IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE GLASS GM DESIGNED INTO THE CAR. I LIKE GM, AND WOULD LIKE THEM TO LIKE ME TOO. THAT MUTUAL RESPECT IS TRULY WHAT THIS WORLD NEEDS NOW.

17V437000 · Air Bags:frontal; Air Bags:frontal:sensor/control MODULE-INACTIVE ; Seat Belts:pretensioner

Jul 10, 2017

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Buick Lacrosse and Chevrolet Spark EV, Caprice PPV and SS vehicles, 2014-2017 Buick Encore and Chevrolet Corvette, Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles, 2015-2016 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Tahoe, Trax, Suburban and Silverado 2500 and 3500 and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL vehicles, and 2015-2017 GMC Sierra HD 2500 and 3500 vehicles. While being previously remedied for recall 16V-651, the affected vehicles may not have received the complete software update necessary to remedy the recall condition. Without the update, certain driving conditions may cause the air bag sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) software to activate a diagnostic test. During this test, deployment of the frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners would not occur in the event of a crash.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the SDM software. Vehicles that have had a previous air bag deployment will have the SDM replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2017. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782.
