What's wrong?
The driver frontal air bag in the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette sits inside the steering wheel. In a front-impact crash, the module deploys the air bag toward the driver while the back plate helps hold the module together and anchored to the wheel. That positioning matters because the bag has to stay in place as it inflates.
On affected Corvettes, the driver air bag module back plate can fracture during deployment. If that plate breaks, the air bag can separate from the steering wheel instead of staying fixed in front of the driver. The problem happens at the moment the air bag is needed, so normal driving does not reveal it.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is inside the air bag module, and an owner is not expected to hear, feel, or see a problem before a driver frontal air bag deployment.
