2011 Chevrolet Corvette Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2011 Chevrolet Corvette carries five trims: Base, Grand Sport, Z06, Z06 Carbon and ZR1. Under them sit three engines — a supercharged 6.2-liter overhead-valve V8 of 376 cubic inches, a naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 of 427 cubic inches and a naturally aspirated 6.2 — and two bodies, hatchback and convertible. Trim names multiply faster than hardware here, so the manual is organized around the engine fitted and the systems attached to it rather than around the badge.

Known issues on the 2011 Corvette. One recall applies to the coupe: its rear hatch attachment did not meet the federal requirement for locks and retention components, and the hatch could separate from the car in a crash. Complaints number eighty-five and lean heavily on the fuel and propulsion system with forty-five, then the power train at ten and air bags at nine. Hatch hinge and latch procedures with their torque values, fuel supply diagnosis, transmission and driveline service, and restraint system testing are all documented in the sections those numbers point to.
