What owners say
It has a strong smell of gas and is leaking from the top of the fuel tank. Strong smell of gas when parked in garage and also when driving and stopped. This has been happening for a while but has gotten worse.
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.
