Automatic locking fuel door made heavy whirring noises. fuel door/cap is locked and no refueling is possible. vehicle is parked. no driving problem until fuel is exhausted then a useless vehicle.
Received a letter with the following from gm. "this letter is intended to make you aware that some 2016 model year chevrolet corvette vehicles may have a condition where cracks on the top surface of the left fuel tank pump module flange, may cause fuel odor, or a loss of fuel on the ground. a check engine light may illuminate if the fuel tank is less than half full." gm recall 17469 . to me due to possible safety issues this should be a mandatory recall. please assist.
Gas leak when the tank is filled.
Bad smell of gas in gararge when car is parked in there.
2nd gas leak to 2016 z51 corvette with 1800 miles. dealer replace gas tank because of a gas leak. the odometer registered about 1300 miles. about 500 miles later (1,800 miles on the odometer) the car once again experienced a gas leak at the tank. this is a dangerous situation since the gas could leak upon the hot tailpipe or muffler. replacing the gas tank is a major endeavor requiring the complete disassemble of the rear drivetrain.
Strong fuel leak smell when parked in the garage

Fuel leak in the area of the fuel tanks
Second 2016 corvette, first one gm took back. now second corvette with same issue. gas leaking from under car!
This issue is very serious. fuel leaks out the top of the tanks, and will then drip down the back side. it happens whether running or not.
