General Motors has released a Service Update for certain units of the 2024 Corvette and the 2025 Corvette due to an issue with the Body Control Module (BCM).
According to Service Update N242456100, select examples may have a condition where the Body Control Module software prevents over-the-air (OTA) updates from proceeding past the install step. To rectify this issue, certified GM technicians will be instructed to inspect affected vehicles and reprogram the BCM software as necessary. This fix should take techs less than one hour to perform.
It’s worth noting that it’s currently unclear how many units are affected by this issue.
In other Corvette-related developments, the Bow Tie brand’s mid-engined performance weapon will be highlighted by a reshuffling of paint colors for the upcoming 2025 model year. More specifically, the 2025 Corvette will lose a total of seven paint colors and gain three others.
Beyond that, one of the more notable developments for the 2025 model year is the introduction of the Corvette C8 ZR1. Featuring the twin-turbocharged 5.5L V8 LT7 engine generating 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque, the new range-topping Vette was officially revealed last week, taking America’s Sports Car to new levels of performance.
As a reminder, the Chevy Corvette is currently available in one of three flavors, including the Corvette C8 Stingray and its naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 LT2 gasoline engine, rated at 490 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque in standard form, the Corvette C8 Z06 and its naturally aspirated 5.5L V8 LT6 gasoline engine, rated at 670 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, as well as the Corvette C8 E-Ray and its combination of the aforementioned LT2 engine and a front-mounted electric motor producing a total of 655 horsepower.
Under the body panels, all Corvette C8 models ride on the GM Y2 platform, while production takes place at the GM Bowling Green plant in Kentucky.

I’d call it a feature not a bug. Crowdstrike demonstrated just how bad a “update” can be especially when applied to everyone all at once. The thing about easy updates is it is easy and cheap. So the care that goes into the rollout is anything but careful as the thinking is we can always just do another update. If you have to have a real person that costs real money install the update at a dealership then the thinking is we gotta get this right THE FIRST TIME. I’ve worked for software companys for decades. I know how they think.
pea soup green and tugboat gray are awful colors –
Thank you for being polite.
I was told my 24 Yukon needed an update for the radio which WAS working. Since the update I’ve been back to the dealer 4 times for the radio problem after the first update. The radio went silent yesterday and came on several hours later. The write up service tech told me to come back and he would TRY and get a new radio. Also read where there is an update for my 2023 Vette . This update will allow the radio to receive future updates. IM ON MY WAY GM . Have to wonder if GM hired people that were let go from Boeing ?
