Several threads already…BUT, ‘21 Sep built, 1LT, non Z51, magnetic ride, dual mode exhaust and have never gotten an OTA. Am I missing something ? At least haven’t gotten stranded with dead battery.
maybe @Zymurgy can help. Again. Always appreciate your insights.

You are not alone. I posted a thread here about my experience on this topic and got input from others. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...of-2021-a.html

Update appears inconsistent for people. My May 2021 has received zero updates other than the one in June of 2021 that bricked the car and took it out of commission for two week.

It would be nice in the discussions about OTA, if we knew Z51 or Non, MSRC, NPP, and Model year. And/or to show that information in one's signature. .That way we wouldn't be comparing apples to oranges. .. I
Only one update for mine, made in May of '21 and that was IIRC about a year ago.

Thought I wrote…’21, 1LT, non Z51, MSRC and NPP but maybe in different words ?

GM's OTA system sucks. Lot's of people haven't gotten OTAs that they likely should have, including me.

Yes you did... my post was aimed more at readers of all the other threads mentioning problems/ideas with updates that surely would be reading this as one as well. It's my hope that ALL other new threads dealinig with updates and those existing will take it to heart so that we can all learn from one another. ..

I have a 9/7/21 non-Z51 build and I haven’t gotten an OTA. I took mine to the dealer for my one year oil change in September and asked them to check it. They told me all was fine.
