Default C6 Recall
Big GM recall announced today that includes 2005 Corvettes. According to the article, GM recalled a total of 5,914 of its 2004 to 2005 Cadillac XLR and new 2005 Chevrolet Corvette sports cars to fix a brake line that could leak. GM discovered the problem internally, and has no reports of customer complaints.

Fix a problem that no one complains about. Thats priceless when 80-90% of all C5's have complaints on the CL.
Oh, IB4L

I bring this up because if you read carefully, the 2004 Cadillac XLR is included. It makes me wonder if there is also an issue with the C5. Mine is a 2004.

not a problem, as the 2004 XLR is a sister car of the 2005 Corvette.
