VERDICT

The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette has not been subjected to federal crash testing, leaving it without an official NHTSA star rating or a computed Safety Index. Owners have filed 22 complaints, and the model year is under one active recall campaign. This places the vehicle in the Moderate band for recall and complaint volume, a metric reflecting the quantity of reported issues rather than an assessment of its crashworthiness. The lack of specific crash-test data means occupant protection remains unevaluated by NHTSA.

The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette was not crash-tested by NHTSA, carries one recall campaign, and falls in the Moderate recall and complaint burden band according to NHTSA data.
