General Motors has issued a "stop delivery" order that will interrupt the supply of the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette, one of its best-selling vehicles.
The automaker wants to address two potential problems with the vehicle before they leave the plant in Bowling Green, K.Y., or leave dealer lots, spokesman Alan Adler said, according to The Wall-Street Journal.
An airbag issue affects approximately 2,000 Corvettes that are either at dealerships or at the plant. A parking-brake issue affects an additional 800 vehicles, most of which are at dealers already.
The interruption is being called "an effort to deal with quality issues quickly and completely," Mr. Adler said.
GM hasn't recalled its redesigned Corvette yet. The company has recalled a record number of vehicles in 2014, 29 million as of press time, but has not issued a recall in more than a month.
The new vehicle has been flying out of dealer lots since being introduced earlier this year. More than 2,600 Corvettes were sold in August alone, which is four times the number sold during the same period in 2013.
GM currently has 42-days's supply of the vehicle on dealer lots, which is a dozen days fewer than the normal supply in the industry, according to Autodata Corp.
The supply of Corvettes was even lower in July.
Some vehicles are being inspected for a suspect part that connects the airbag to the steering wheel, Adler said.
Some Corvettes are on hold since they might have been built with one of the rear parking brake cables fully seated and engaged, according to The Wall-Street Journal.
The part is going to be inspected to make sure the brake is operating on both brake drums.
