2010 CHEVROLET CORVETTE — Complaint #1883226
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE filed March 27, 2023
NHTSA complaint #1883226 (ODI reference 11513982) concerns a 2010 CHEVROLET CORVETTE and was filed on March 27, 2023. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 6, 2023. The vehicle had 55,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Texas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as fuel system, gasoline, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET CORVETTE cohort independently describe similar fuel system, gasoline failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2010 CHEVROLET CORVETTE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
