— Nearly 112,000 Chevy Corvettes from 2005 through 2007 because they can lose low-beam headlights. GM says when the engine is warm, an electrical housing can expand and bend a wire, causing it to fracture. GM will also repair Corvettes from 2008 through 2013 if owners have the problem. |
IF they have "the same problem..." how the hell would you know until it's too late?
|
These guys have apparently already experienced the issue in 2005s and came up with a fix:

My biggest concern is I don't want them working on my car. :ack:
Better to find a mechanic, that even if does not know corvettes, knows how to find the pertinent information and above all is meticulous and reliable with his/her mechanical skills. |
Maybe the manufactures wouldn't have to do so many recalls if they quit using foreign junk.

The recall only covers 2005 through 2007 vettes but admits that all C6 years are affected.
From Yahoo: RECALL #2: 2005-2007 Chevrolet Corvette This recall of 111,889 U.S. vehicles is meant to fix a serious problem with the low-beam headlights. GM says that "When the engine is warm, the underhood electrical center housing could expand, causing the headlamp low-beam relay control circuit wire to bend slightly." Over time, the circuit wire can break, disabling the low-beam headlights. This problem appears to affect Corvettes from the 2008-2013 model years, too, though GM says that those vehicles will be repaired via a Customer Satisfaction Program, rather than a full-fledged recall. As with recall #1, GM hasn't specified how it will fix the problem. |
Did anyone of "US" have any headlight problems?
I haven't read about any, ...I'll try another search. |

The second safety recall covers 111,889 Chevrolet Corvettes from the 2005-2007 model years for potential loss of low-beam headlamp operation Models from 2008-2013 will be covered under a Customer Satisfaction Program. All repairs will be at no cost to customers.
Only 2009-2013 will be fixed at no cost not 2005-2007? GM is also recalling 111,889 Chevrolet Corvettes from the 2005-07 model years for possible loss of low-beam headlamp operation in the wake of several hundred complaints. GM is also extending customer satisfaction coverage for 2008-13 Corvette cars, but not issuing a recall. |

Maybe they will fix the airbag wiring next. There is always hope...

I just stopped by my local dealer and he said they have nothing on these recalls yet. He said recalls get published and announced before the dealers get notification of them and often they do not hear about it officially for months. Don't know if all of this is fact but that is what the service writer at MK Smith Chevrolet in Chino. CA told me a few minutes ago.
|
Since this is a Recall, I assume that GM will notify the owners on how to go about getting the fix done.

Does anyone know where the "Electrical Center" is under the hood ? Is that another name for the fuse box....or is it another animal under the hood ?

That will probably only help those who bought the car new. I assume GM has no idea that a lot of us have a Corvette unless we have had work done at a dealership. I have not.
