All 2 Known Issues
On the 2020-2025 Chevrolet Corvette, the mid-engine C8 Corvette has reported issues with the front trunk (frunk) latch mechanism. The electronic latch can fail to release or fail to secure properly. GM has issued recalls for frunk latch issues that could allow the frunk to open at speed. Additionally, some C8 owners report various electrical gremlins including infotainment freezes, wireless charging pad failures, and key fob range issues. These are software and build-quality issues typical of a first-generation mid-engine design.
Common Symptoms
- Frunk will not open via button or key fob
- Frunk opens unexpectedly or does not latch securely
- FRUNK AJAR warning when closed properly
- Infotainment screen freezing or rebooting
- Wireless phone charging pad not working
- Key fob range reduced or intermittent
How to Fix
Frunk latch: GM recall N212346680 addresses the latch mechanism. Dealer will inspect and replace the latch assembly under recall. Infotainment: ensure software is up to date via dealer or OTA updates. Wireless charger: clean the charging pad and ensure phone case is compatible. Key fob: replace battery (CR2032) and check for interference from aftermarket electronics.

Parts and tips from 0+ owners who fixed this issue
- TipTSB 21-NA-094 is the key document for inoperative C8 frunk release buttons. Most common cause is water intrusion and corrosion in connector X103 behind front compartment panel (right side). Have dealer inspect X103 for green corrosion - cleaning and re-sealing resolves many failures at zero parts cost
- TipPer TSB 21-NA-094, if X103 is clean, test auxiliary hood latch release switch at connector X102 (access by removing left horn). Switch should read open when not pressed, max 0.2 ohm when pressed. Actual failure is usually internal micro-switch in latch assembly, not mechanical latch. Ensure dealer follows full TSB diagnostic sequence
- NoteDo NOT ignore a 'Close Front Trunk' DIC message when frunk IS closed. NHTSA Recall N202311160 was issued for 2020 C8 frunks opening at highway speed. Verify VIN received BCM software update at nhtsa.gov. Persistent false warnings mean latch actuator position sensor has failed - covered under warranty within 3yr/36k miles

On the 2020-2025 Chevrolet Corvette LT2, the C8 Corvette uses the LT2 6.2L V8 with Dynamic Fuel Management (DFM) which can deactivate any combination of cylinders. While the LT2 is generally reliable, some owners report lifter tick similar to the AFM issues on truck engines. The DFM system uses the same collapsible lifter technology. GM has released updated VLOM and lifter designs for the LT2. The tick is most noticeable on cold starts and usually disappears when warm. Severe cases may require lifter replacement.
Common Symptoms
- Ticking noise from engine on cold start
- Tick that goes away when engine warms up
- Rough idle briefly on startup
- Misfire codes on specific cylinders (rare)
How to Fix
Mild cold-start tick is considered normal on LT2 by many in the Corvette community. Persistent tick that does not go away when warm warrants inspection. GM has updated VLOM and lifter designs. A DFM disabler (Range Technology) can be used as a preventive measure. Full lifter replacement is rarely needed on C8.

- TipTSB 19-NA-218 (revised Dec 2020, covers 2019-2021 C8) is official GM procedure for LT2 lifter tick. Cold-start tick disappearing in 30-60 seconds is normal. Persistent warm tick with rough idle or misfire on cylinders 2, 3, 5, or 8 (DFM deactivation cylinders) indicates collapsed DFM lifter. Have dealer follow full TSB sequence
- TipRange Technology DFM Disabler (RA003B, OBD-II port) is most popular preventive measure to stop DFM cycling. Critical: 2022.5+ C8s require direct-ECU harness plug version, not OBD-II, due to protocol change. For free DFM disabling, Track Mode or Manual Mode in drive mode selector suppresses DFM activation
- NoteLT2 DFM deactivates cylinders 2, 3, 5, and 8 - all 8 lifters are collapsible AFM-style and all subject to failure. Driving with collapsed DFM lifter bends pushrod, damages camshaft lobe, and can drop valve debris into cylinder - converting $2,000-3,000 lifter repair into full engine replacement. Do not delay diagnosis on persistent misfire
