General Motors has announced a recall affecting 13,464 C8 Corvettes from the 2024 and 2025 model years due to potential issues with the seat belt retractors.
On June 6, GM released a safety report indicating that the seat belt retractors on the driver and/or passenger side of the mid-engine sports car may malfunction. This defect can cause the retractors to lock in the stowed position, preventing occupants from accessing and using the seat belts. As a safety precaution, GM advises not driving the vehicle if you cannot buckle up.
Chevrolet dealers will replace the defective seat belt retractors at no cost to the owners. A notification campaign is set to begin on Jul [...]
It is being reported that General Motors, like other carmakers, is scaling back some of its ambitious electric vehicle (EV) plans due to lower-than-expected customer demand.
The latest delay involves GM’s St. Catharines plant in Ontario, Canada, which was set to produce over 400,000 EV drive units annually. This shift was intended to transition the plant from manufacturing the profitable Gen 5 V8 engines and dual-clutch transmissions (DCT) used in the C8 Corvette.
However, according to The St. Catharines Standard, these plans have been postponed due to slower-than-anticipated growth in EV demand. Despite the delay, GM assures that the transition to EV production at St. Catharines is still in progress.
Natalie Nankil, GM Canada’s director of corporate and internal communications, stated, “Work continues to retool the V-6 engine and 6-speed transmission lines at St. Catharin [...]
