Chevrolet Corvette Turn-Signal Warning Recall: Your California Lemon Law Rights

Chevrolet has recalled 32,988 model year 2025–2026 Corvette vehicles (NHTSA recall 26V213000) because the software may not warn the driver when a rear turn signal has failed. Here's what the recall covers, what to do, and when a recall like this can become a California lemon law claim.

What the recall covers

The recall spans Corvette Coupe and Convertible, E-Ray, and ZR1X variants. A software error may prevent the vehicle from detecting a rear turn-signal light failure, so the driver may be unaware the signal isn't working. That doesn't meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 and can increase crash risk.

What owners should do now

• Until updated, periodically confirm your turn signals are working, or ask someone to check.
• Watch for your Chevrolet letter, or check whether an over-the-air update is available.
• Confirm your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or chevrolet.com.
• Keep your recall letter and every repair order.

When this recall can become a lemon

A turn-signal software recall usually won't make your car a lemon on its own — the fix is a software update. But if the problem persists after the update, the repair is significantly delayed, or your Corvette has other unrepaired warranty defects, California's Lemon Law may entitle you to a buyback, replacement, or cash settlement, with the manufacturer paying your attorney fees.
