What Happened
Your vehicle's parking brake system has a problem where one of the rear brake cables might not be fully engaged, which could cause the parking brake to only work on one rear wheel.
Risk if Unfixed
If you park your vehicle on a steep hill and the parking brake isn't working properly on both wheels, it could roll away, increasing the risk of an accident.
Free Fix
The dealership will inspect and fix the parking brake cable for free. They'll make sure it's working properly on both wheels to keep you safe.

Original — What Happened
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles manufactured August 20, 2014, to September 4, 2014. In the affected vehicles, only one of the rear parking brake cables may be fully seated and engaged, resulting in the parking brake only operating on one of the rear park brake drums. Without the parking brake working on both rear wheels, the vehicle may roll away if parked on a steep gradient. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."
Original — Risk if Unfixed
If the parking brake cable isn't fully seated and engaged on both of the rear park brake drums, the vehicle may roll away if parked on a steep gradient, increasing the risk of a crash.
Original — Remedy
GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and correct the park brake cable installation, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on October 31, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 14620.
