General Motors
is recalling Corvette base coupes
model year 2005 through 2007 and Z06
years 2006-2007 equipped with a
removable roof. The adhesive between
the roof panel and the frame may
separate. If there is a partial
separation, the driver may notice
one or more symptoms, such as a
snapping noise when driving over
bumps, wind noise, poor roof panel
fit, roof panel movement / bounce
when a door or hatch is closed, or a
water leak in the headliner.
Consequence:
If there is a complete separation,
the roof panel may detach from the
vehicle. If this were to occur while
the vehicle was being driven, it
could strike a following vehicle and
cause injury and/or property damage.
Remedy:
Dealers will install a new design
roof panel free of charge. The
safety recall is expected to begin
during January 2010. Owners may
contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438
