General Motors is constantly recalling cars these days, a fact that Americans have seemingly come to accept and maybe even embrace. Because of that, it shouldn’t be too horribly shocking that the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette has been the subject of two recalls so far. The more urgent of the two recalls is a problem with the driver’s front airbag. While details are sketchy, it might have to do with the module detaching from the steering wheel during a collision, which wouldn’t be a good thing on any level. Quite a few airbags are being recalled these days, with the total numbers far eclipsing even the shockingly massive recalls being issued by GM. The big problem with the recall for the Corvette is that the automaker so far doesn’t have a repair schedule.

As a result, all Chevrolet dealers have been instructed to stop selling the ‘Vette until notified otherwise. Of course, holding onto the sports car until the airbag problem is resolved is a smart move. The second recall makes freezing sales even smarter, because it has to do with the parking brake cables. Apparently, when the Corvette is parked on an incline only one cable is actually working to hold the car in place. The obvious risk is that the vehicle may roll away causing injury or damage. Just like with the airbag issue, there is no estimate for when or how the parking brake problem will be fixed.
