According to the manufacturer General Motors is recalling 2011 and 2012 Corvettes manufactured between January 24 2011 through September 1 2011. The vehicles in question have a faulty rear hatch hinge that does not meet load requirements posing a separation risk in the event of an accident. Chevrolet can be contacted at 1-800-630-2438.
Commentary
While this recall is only aimed at approximately 6000 vehicles readers should still practice caution as a separation risk can greatly increase the risk on injury in an accident.
When a manufacturer learns of a defect in their product they typically issue a recall in an effort to mitigate liability and clear the faulty product from the market. If an injury occurs from one of the products still on the market an investigation is needed to link that injury with use of the product. If a link is determined there may be standing for a claim against a manufacturer.
