EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL
- The defect
- General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X Coupe, Corvette ZR1X Convertible, Corvette Coupe E-Ray, Corvette Convertible E-Ray, Corvette Convertible, Corvette Coupe, 2025 Corvette E-Ray Coupe, Corvette E-Ray Convertible, Corvette Convertible, and Corvette Coupe vehicles. A software error may prevent detection of a rear turn signal light failure. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- What it can cause
- The driver may be unaware that the turn signal is not working, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- The lighting control module software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters are scheduled to be mailed May 18, 2026. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N252541250. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov April 2, 2025.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup.

How this campaign compares
At 32,988 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 87% of the 19,446 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 474. It covers model years 2025 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Chevrolet vehicles have been recalled over the exterior lighting 29 times before this, most recently in December 2022 as 22V903000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 6 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 11 complaints with NHTSA, 9 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 26V114000 (equipment), 25V536000 (fuel system, gasoline), 24V418000 (seat belts).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by General Motors, LLC with NHTSA on April 2, 2026 as campaign 26V213000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
