General Motors has acknowledged that it produced certain 2023 Corvette models with an incorrect suspension calibration and while it hasn’t yet needed to issue a recall for the problem, it has announced a service update to its dealers to resolve the issue.
The car manufacturer hasn’t specified what exactly is wrong with the suspension calibration nor has it stated how the error was made. It is also unclear if the issue is only for Corvette Stingray models or if it also impacts the Corvette Z06.
Fortunately, it won’t be too difficult for Chevrolet to resolve the issue. Indeed, dealers have been instructed to fix vehicles still in inventory as well as those delivered to customers by simply reprogramming the Electric Suspension Control Module with the correct settings. GM Authority reports it will take approximately 12 minutes for an inspection of impacted units and just 18 minutes to reprogram the suspension.

While it doesn’t seem long since the Corvette was updated for the 2023 model year, production of it will end on September 1 while production of the 2024 Corvette will commence just a few days later on September 5. It is unclear what changes the ‘Vette will undergo for the 2024 model year but what we do know is that it will see the introduction of the hybrid Corvette E-Ray.
Chevrolet lifted the veil on the 2024 Corvette E-Ray in mid-January. It will be delivered in Coupe and Convertible guises and is priced from $104,295. Power comes courtesy of the familiar 6.2-liter naturally-aspirated V8 that is supplemented by an electric motor at the front axle. The result is a combined 655 hp and 470 lb-ft (639 Nm), plus an extra 125 lb-ft (170 Nm) from the electric motor. Chevy says the car can hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 2.5 seconds, sprint down the quarter-mile in 10.5 seconds at 130 mph (209 km/h), and pull up to 1.1g during cornering.
