In owners’ own words

Filed with NHTSA by the people who own these cars, about the wheels. Quoted as written, with anything identifying removed; unverified reports — what was said, not a finding that it was true.

After just 3,910 miles the tires were worn past the point of inspection. GM has said this is normal wear, if not for the annual inspection sticker I wouldn't have given these tires a second thought.

Car sat still for three days and when I went to drive it, the computer told me that my left rear tire was deflated to only 14 PSI instead of 30 PSI. They are run flat tires, so you can't tell if they are flat.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA complaint database, recalls and manufacturer communications

Are wheel problems common on the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette?

They are documented: NHTSA holds 124 owner complaints naming the wheels on this model year (84% of everything owners filed about it), and 55 manufacturer bulletins are filed under the same heading. Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count, and a count says nothing about how many were sold.

Is there a recall for the wheels on the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette?

No recall campaign is filed under this heading for this model year (there are 1 filed under other headings). A bulletin is not a recall: it carries no federal duty to repair for free.

When do wheel problems show up on the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette?

Owners who gave an odometer reading reported it at a median of 9,000 miles; half of them between 5,000 and 15,000. That is when reports cluster, not the life of a part.

What does NHTSA's "Wheels" heading cover?

The area of the vehicle ODI files the complaint under. Owners choose the heading when they file, so it says which area of the vehicle the complaint is about, not which part failed.
