Model years Chevrolet Corvette
2020 Chevrolet Corvette
This year drew 34 complaints, which is too few to read anything into. A share of a small number moves too much: one owner writing about the same fault twice would swing it further than a real pattern does. So nothing is claimed about this year either way. The 4 recalls below are on file regardless, and are not affected by how many people filed complaints.
First year of a new generation. The Chevrolet Corvette was redesigned for 2020. A first year carries problems nobody has found yet, and they are found by the people who buy it — which is worth knowing before you become one of them.
NHTSA opened a defect investigation into this model year.

How this was worked out
Every year of the Chevrolet Corvette was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
