General Motors has announced a recall for the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and ZR1 from model years 2023 through 2026, citing a potential fire risk during refueling.

According to the manufacturer, overfilling the tank can cause excess fuel to collect in the filler neck recess and seep toward the radiator or the fan on the left side of the car. If the vapors come into contact with hot components, they could ignite.

To address the issue, dealers will install a new filler-neck seal shield (part number 86371991) at no cost. The update is designed to prevent fuel from reaching hot hardware, and the work takes about 30 minutes. The remedy is simple and quick—exactly the kind of fix you want for a refueling hazard.

Owners who previously paid for a similar repair can request reimbursement by submitting receipts to a dealership or directly to GM.

The company urges owners of 2026 and earlier Corvettes to schedule the service as soon as they receive a notice. Given the nature of the risk, getting ahead of it is the sensible move.
