2016 Chevrolet Corvette Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2016 Chevrolet Corvette works on two versions of the same 376-cubic-inch, 6.2-liter overhead-valve V8 — one naturally aspirated, one supercharged — under Stingray, Z06 and Z51 badges in coupe and convertible form. The distinction shows at the specification table: the supercharged engine brings hardware the naturally aspirated one does not, so those chapters are entered by engine, while the transmission, axle, brake and body procedures downstream are common to both.

Known issues on the 2016 Corvette. Two recalls touch this model year, and both are restraint faults of the same kind: the front air bags or the seat belt pretensioners may fail to deploy in a crash that calls for them, leaving driver and front passenger with only the belt itself. Owners have logged 103 complaints, and wheels dominate at fifty-eight, followed by the fuel and propulsion system at fourteen and the power train at eleven. Wheel and tire specifications, hub and bearing service, fuel delivery diagnosis and restraint system testing are all set out here.
