I am getting a "Service Front Lift" notice on my dashboard screen. Apparently, it could be do to a faulty reservoir cap for my front lift. I will check this out today.
If your C8 Corvette's Front End Lift System has a fluid leak, a new technical service bulletin is out that offers a resolution for the issue.

The “Service Front Lift System” notice on a C8 Corvette dashboard can indicate issues with the front lift system, which raises the front end of the vehicle for increased ground clearance. Common causes include:
• Faulty reservoir cap or fluid leaks in the front lift system.
• Contamination or debris inside the front lift system, which may require a complete system flush and replacement of the front shock absorbers as per a 2025 GM Technical Service Bulletin (#N242484110).
• Possible air entrapment in the hydraulic system causing errors in the front suspension lift sensors, especially in low mileage vehicles or after recent service.
For 2024 models, software updates to the K218 controller may help resolve warning messages.
If you see this notice, it is recommended to visit a Chevrolet dealer for diagnosis and repair, which may involve flushing the system, replacing shocks, or updating software. The front lift system is designed to raise the front end up to 2 inches at speeds up to 24 mph to protect the splitter from damage.
You wouldn’t think that there would be any issues with the 2025 but apparently so .
Yes, GM Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) specify fixes for front lift issues in 2024-25 Corvette models, primarily focused on the 2025 model year. The key TSB (#N242484110) addresses contamination in the front lift hydraulic system caused by debris. The prescribed fix involves flushing the entire front lift system, replacing both front shock absorbers, and related fittings and bolts. This repair is covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty and is recommended for any affected 2025 Corvette brought to dealers for service.
For 2024 models, no specific front lift system TSB was found, but the 2025 bulletin may apply to some extent as the system is similar. The 2025 TSB is the latest official fix for front lift issues and is intended to ensure proper operation and prevent failures due to fluid contamination.
In summary, GM’s latest and specific service bulletin for front lift issues applies to 2025 Corvettes, with flushing and shock replacement as the main corrective actions.
