What's wrong?
The parking brake on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette is the brake you set after parking, separate from the foot brake you use to slow the car. It uses cables to pull the rear parking brake mechanisms tight at the rear wheels, so the car stays held when it is parked.
On affected Corvettes, a rear parking brake cable was not installed properly at the parking brake drum. Testing found vehicles with one cable disconnected, which means the parking brake applies on only one rear wheel instead of both. With only one side holding, the parking brake does not meet the required brake-system standard and the car can roll away if parked on a steep gradient.
There is no warning sign before failure. The parking brake handle or control can feel normal, but the rear wheel on the disconnected side is not being held by the parking brake.

What's the safety risk?
An incorrectly seated parking brake cable can leave the rear parking brake drums only partly engaged. On a steep grade, the Corvette can roll after it is parked, increasing crash risk. Until the inspection is done, set the parking brake firmly and use extra care when parking on grades. Repair is free at any franchised Chevrolet dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015 Chevrolet Corvette is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Chevrolet dealer to schedule the free parking-brake-cable inspection and correction, which fixes a parking brake that works on only one rear wheel.
- Bring the recall notice if Chevrolet mailed one. If not, reference recall number 14V568 when you call.
- Avoid parking on steep grades until the dealer completes the repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Chevrolet technician inspects the park brake cable installation and corrects any cable that is not fully seated or engaged. The repair is free under recall 14V568, and parts and labor are covered. The goal is to make sure the parking brake operates on both rear park brake drums so the 2015 Corvette holds as intended when parked. Owners with scheduling questions should contact a Chevrolet dealer or Chevrolet customer service, but the recall work itself is handled through the dealer.
