## What is wrong

General Motors LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain model year 2014 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles manufactured November 20, 2013, to March 25, 2014, and equipped with optional sport seats.  The seats do not meet internal specifications for injury protection in relation to an unbelted young child.

Owners should not allow small children to ride in vehicles unbelted or in the front passenger seat.  Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1\-800\-222\-1020.
