Things may be different in Alberta, but the dealership would be breaking the law in Ontario. Read the article linkd above
Daytime running light recall is holding up delivery of my corvette

I would be asking them for some type of compensation, in the form of a credit on service, accessories, etc., st the very least covering your interest payments
it's not the Dealer's fault for this recall, so I doubt any compensation would be offered from them??
it is the dealership's fault for deceiving him and telling him to come in and pay earlier when all dealerships have known about the GM recall stop order for the past month
Yes, you can manually chose AUTO, OFF, PARK and REGULAR (manual on) HEADLIGHTS.
Since my 2000's Ford 150 came out with this, I have always just left it in AUTO as I do on the Vette. I literally cannot remember ever having to turn the lights on in any of my modern vehicles in the last 20 years. The only time that I have to set them back to auto, is after a visit to the dealership. It is like clockwork the mechanics 100% of the time turn them to off, every friggin time.
If you leave it in AUTO the problem will not occur. According to the recall it is if the vehicle light selector is in PARK or OFF that the software issue can manifest itself. I drove into the garage on Saturday and my headlights came on within seconds in AUTO as they should.
I was kind of regretting picking up the car in December, but I am glad I did, because realistically with the federal government (Transport Canada) involved I am not holding my breath, but lets hope this gets resolved in a timely manner.
When did this headlight issue start, I picked up my Z06 in February and been driving it, heard nothing from dealer
Reading back I believe the initial issues were discovered in the SUV and trucks in November 2023.
I read that in mid December it was discovered in the Corvettes.
Transport Canada issued/added the Corvette recall around February 6th. But this issue is more far reaching then a 100000+ C8's.
So, for a piece of duct tape, strategically placed to hold the switch in 'Auto' mode, the Government is holding all these cars hostage?
If we wrote a sign on top of the tape, "Don't ever touch me!", in both official languages, and in braille, would that suffice?
Not enough?
Well then, let's create a new law that you can only drive your Corvette in the dark provided you have an IQ higher than a carrot.
If your IQ does not meet this criteria, you may still drive provided you bring a passenger along and he/she/it waves a 'bic' lighter in each hand whilst AC/DC plays at 85% volume.
The World has gone insane.
I guess when all the lines shut down because the lots are full, and the auto workers are all sitting at home collecting unemployment insurance, then we can hold a few meetings to discuss the issue, right?
I dont see a problem with that... but in Quebec your sign and French braille would need to be double the size of the English.
Welcome to Canada... Let's stop everything and hire a consultant to investigate and come up with a report on this situation.

And this is likely why mine and another Canucks Z06 builds keep getting pushed...doh!
I'm now 4/1 TPW

Can't they release the car without plates? Why can't I buy a car and store it in my living room? Like someone said, I would prefer to have it in my garage and stare at it while GM works on a fix. I'm in the same boat, my car was built Jan 19 and it's sitting in BG.
I dont know how GM now does it but when I owned a powersports dealership, several manufacturers would not let you print off the NVIS form if there was a stop sale order on the vehicle or until the unit was warranty registered. This may be part of the reason that dealers are holding the vehicles?
This recall might be the final straw for me. I have been waiting on delivery of my 2023 Stingray since maybe mid October. car was built on Sept 6 and i have been experiencing delay after delay.
from my quick read through its looking like an April fix?

I am thinking about pulling the pin on this car and keeping my C7 Z06, it’s frustrating not knowing for sure. I have contacted the dealership several times and they still haven’t given me a straight answer.
When the recall came out they said “oh this should be fixed within a week”, I knew that was unrealistic but figured they would have an answer by now.
your car should have arrived in Winnipeg by the middle of October. Something isn't right here. Do you have your VIN?
WOW WOW WOW! How horrible for you!
OK, there was some serious flaw found with yours if it's been on a QC hold for that long!
Geez, so sorry for you.
I have a VIN for the car. The dealer has been sending me screenshots of it on vinviewer. my car was part of that mystery issue where it was shipped to Michigan. People think it was a DCT issue (documented on midenginecorvette). during the process it was shipped to New Boston then to Lansing and it was suppose to make its my way on Feb 3rd and this recall hit.
Yeah, I am not a happy camper right now. There's a nice GT4 at the Porsche dealer thats catching my eye now.
They could have built you another one during the wait and you'd have had it by now. This really sux.
