NHTSA Complaint #11353400 — 2011 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

DEAR SIR OR MADAM, I PURCHASED A USED 2011 CORVETTE A YEAR AGO. THERE IS A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE NEAR THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WHEEL WELL WHEN THE TANK IS NEAR FULL. THIS HAS OCCURRED FROM THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT IT AND CONTINUES TODAY. I HAVE REPLACED THE GAS CAP WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. I BECAME AWARE OF RECALL FOR CRACKING OF THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY WHICH PRODUCES A GASOLINE VAPOR LEAK.. THE RECALL IS FROM JULY 2016, REF# N150682, GWM# 2015682. I FOUND THE RECALL INFORMATION ON A CORVETTE FORUM. THE LETTER SAYS THE RECALL IS GOOD FOR 10 YEARS FROM THE IN-SERVICE DATE WITH UNLIMITED MILEAGE. SO IT SHOULD STILL BE AVAILABLE FOR MY 2011 VEHICLE. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL SHOWING ON THE GM SYSTEM FOR MY CAR. THE DEALER IS MARCHANT CHEVROLET, 5700 SAVANNAH HIGHWAY, RAVENEL SC 29470, 843-564-1394. CAN YOU HELP ME GET THE DEALER TO RECOGNIZE THE RECALL? THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
