   Re: URGENT SAFETY CONCERN – 2026 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 NHTSA Campaign No.: 25V536 GM Recall No.: N252514930 Dear NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation, I am writing to provide additional information regarding my 2026 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and to respectfully request an urgent investigation into whether my vehicle should have been included in NHTSA Campaign No. 25V536 / GM Recall No. N252514930. My concern is extremely serious because my vehicle is experiencing a gasoline-related condition that appears consistent with the safety hazard identified in this recall. According to NHTSA's official recall documentation, certain 2023–2026 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles equipped with the left-side radiator/fan combination may allow excess gasoline spilled during refueling to enter the fuel-filler pocket and reach an ignition source, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. The recall remedy includes installation of an insert/protective shield intended to divert spilled gasoline away from surfaces behind the quarter panel. General Motors' investigation identified multiple fire incidents involving Corvettes equipped with the relevant radiator/fan configuration, including customer-owned vehicles and a GM development vehicle. GM also conducted physical testing that reproduced fuel ignition under simulated spill conditions. My 2026 Corvette Z06 is experiencing a strong gasoline/fuel odor, including fumes noticeable inside the passenger compartment, and I am deeply concerned that my vehicle may have the same underlying fuel-related safety condition addressed by this recall. Most importantly, my vehicle appears to lack the protective safety shield that was established as the recall remedy. For this reason, I respectfully ask NHTSA not to rely solely upon why this car was sold when there is no protective safety sheild.
