AIR BAGS: AIR BAG/RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE

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.

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