Each campaign in detail

Fuel filler pipe (2014 recall)
Manufacturer recall
A recall concerns 2014 Stingrays whose anti-siphon screen in the fuel filler pipe could be incorrectly positioned; the remedy is replacement of the pipe by the dealer network (Corvette Blogger). CorvSport also reports petrol smells among the most frequent complaints on the C7, and a GM campaign on this pipe. Check the VIN.
Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).
