GM issues stop sales for two Corvette defects | The Detroit News:
"Washington — General Motors Co. told its dealers to halt sales of about 2,800 new Chevrolet Corvettes for possible defects.
In recent months, GM has issued similar stop sales before issuing new recalls.
GM spokesman Alan Adler declined to confirm the Detroit automaker planned to recall the vehicles, but said very few of the 2,800 vehicles are in customer hands.
Adler said GM told Chevrolet dealers to stop delivery of about 2,000 2015 Corvettes to fix the driver’s airbag. GM also has temporarily stopped shipment of the cars from its assembly plant in Bowling Green, Ky.
"The cars are being inspected for a suspect part that attaches the air bag to the steering wheel. Separately, another 800 Corvettes — most of them at dealerships — are on hold because they may have been built with only one of the rear parking brake cables fully seated and engaged.
The part must be inspected to assure the parking brake is operating on both brake drums," Adler said.
GM has recalled a record 29.1 million vehicles in 65 recall campaigns for vehicles built by its North American unit this year. "
