General Motors issued a stop-sale order to dealers Thursday night for 2020 model-year Corvettes, per Corvetteactioncenter.com. The order and its associated recall has to do with material contamination within the car's electronic brake boost system. The order affects a handful of other GM products as well, including the Chevy Trailblazer, Buick Encore, and a handful of Cadillacs.

A bulletin issued to GM dealers and obtained by Corvetteactioncenter.com lays out the details:

Material used in a sensor connection in the electronic brake boost system in these vehicles may have been contaminated during the material supplier's production process. Contamination of this material may cause an interruption of communication between the sensor and the brake boost system under certain conditions.
