 Defect summaryGeneral 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."
