GM has issued a service bulletin for a retrofit of the Rear Park Assist feature (RPO code UD7) on two model years of the Chevy Corvette – the 2022 Chevy Corvette and the 2023 Chevy Corvette.
The problem: starting on December 2nd, 2021, GM built certain 2022 and 2023 model year Chevy Corvette Stingrays without a functional Rear Park Assist feature. Customers who purchased these vehicles were given a $50 credit in lieu of the feature’s absence and a promised future retrofit.
GM produced the Corvettes without a functional Rear Park Assist feature due to the semiconductor shortage, which was affecting GM and many other automakers at the time. For instance, the Chevy Camaro and the Chevy Silverado pickup were also affected, but these models are not included in this specific retrofit program.
The constraint on Rear Park Assist ended on April 11th production date for 2022 Corvette C8 Stingray models.
The fix:Â the retrofit described in the service bulletin is carried out at dealerships. The dealer will replace the Rear Park Assist control module, program it, and then set up the serial data gateway module, which restores the Rear Park Assist feature to functionality.
The retrofit program is in effect until March 31st, 2026.
Affected components:
- Rear Park Assist control module
- Serial data gateway module
Affected vehicles:
- 2022 Chevy Corvette C8 Stingray
- Only 2023 Chevy Corvette Stingrays with an early production date were affected out of the 2023 model year.
- 2023 Chevy Corvette C8 Stingray
Number of affected vehicles: it’s unclear at this time how many vehicle units are affected by this issue in total.
Owners should:Â affected Chevy Corvette owners were notified of the non-functional Rear Park Assist feature at the time of purchase. They were also notified that they would be eligible for a retrofit at no additional cost once the necessary parts became available. 2022 and 2023 Corvette owners with questions about the retrofit can call Chevy’s customer service number, referencing the GM customer satisfaction program number below.

When will the retrofit start for the Silverado?? I have a 2022 that is missing this feature.
When will the retrofit start for the Traverse? I have a 2022 that is missing this feature.
I really lucked out, My Feb 2021 build for a Z51 C8 Stingray got all of its features.
For those of you waiting for the retrofit, I wonder how long you will have to let them keep your vehicle at the dealer.
That part is the most difficult for me, I think it is great it is under warranty.
But personally, I have to drive 1 hour just to get to the dealer. Typically have to get a rental car and go home.
Sometimes, I have sat in that waiting room 8 hours, just painful.
Not sure what would be better, but I prefer not going to a dealer at all.
I hate going to the dealership, like turning loose a bunch of mindless chimps on your car! There should be classes taught to service writers to the mechanics on how the service experience should be handled.
I have a 2017 GS with under 1600 miles that the leather dash cover is coming up. It was replaced once under warranty and now have same problem out of warranty. Car does not set in the sun. Is there a factory problem?
I have a similar problem, 2010 GRAND SPORT 8500 MILES ALWAYS GARAGED the a pillars and center arm rest blister up more noticeable in summer. My friends c6 same problem.
2022 Tahoe RTS same here missing parking sensors. What a let down by GM The Heart Beat of America! A earlier post stated we should be getting them in the first quarter. Crossing my fingers! Recall on DRL now too I was wondering why my lights were always on 😂
Where in the Sam Hill is my 2023? Ordered it the minute it was available to order last fall. LT2 convertable. Red color option and performance exhaust. Nothing really very special. I have been buying Corvettes since 1967 and this car is my22nd. Most of them have been new. Geeezzz.
Ordered my LT2 Stingray vert 12/21. I fetched it at NCM 2/15/23. Lead time depends on options ordered. For mine, there was a long delay due to non-Z51 tranny. The final delay was a damaged wheel, waited the final 4 weeks for a replacement. If half the value in ordering a C8 is the anticipation of the delivery, we’re vetting our money’s worth.
Amazing more to break more to fix and more to spend your money on increasingly complex electrical systems just more problems
Is this just the rear beeping sensors along with yellow, orange, red display on the dash of the C8?
My order indicated it would not have the rear parking assist but when I took delivery in January, it seemed be complete and the dealer said nothing that I can remember to the contrary.
