Covettes Recalled, Roof May Separate
General Motors is recalling Corvettes because of a removable roof that may inadvertently separate from the car’s frame. This recall involves just over 22,000 model year 2005-2007 Corvettes and model year 2006-2007 Corvette Z06 vehicles.
General Motors dealers will fix the problem by installing a new roof panel of different design starting in January.
Signs of a partial separation include a snapping noise when driving over bumps, wind noise, poor roof panel fit, roof panel movement or bounce when a door or hatch is closed, or a water leak in the headliner.
If there is a complete separation, the roof panel on the Corvette may detach from the vehicle. If the car is being driven when this occurs, the roof could strike a following vehicle and cause injury and property damage.
Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 or at www.GMOwnerCenter.com for additional information on this recall WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.
