2023 Brake shutter
I owned my C8 Z51 now for about a month with around 400 miles. Just recently noticed when I step on the brakes the steering wheel is shaking a bit which I assume is a brake issue. Has anyone had this issue?

This is sometimes a symptom of uneven pad transfer to the rotors. Do several hard stops (just short of locking up the brakes but don't let the car come to a complete stop with your foot on the brake) and see if the shudder goes away.

Follow what post #2 said. The owners manual has specific instructions for burnishing the brake pads/rotors. Best of luck
