When I restarted the car everything was normal again! Note: this car does NOT have any automated braking systems. GM Canada and the GM Dealership have been unable to determine the cause of the above incident nor duplicate in during road-tests.

18V360000 · Air Bags: Air Bag/restraint Control Module

May 31, 2018

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.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: In the event of a crash, if the air bags do not deploy as designed, the occupants have an increased risk of injury.

Remedy: 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.
