Has the recall been performed on your car?
GM Recall #:N130146
NHTSA #14V251
Date Issued:
May 14, 2014
Recall Title:
LOW-BEAM HEADLAMPS INOPERATIVE
Recall Description:
General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in model year 2005-2007 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles. On these vehicles, when the engine is warm, the underhood bussed electrical center (UBEC) housing will expand, causing the headlamp low-beam relay control circuit routed wire to bend slightly. After the wire is repeatedly bent, it can fracture and separate. When this occurs, the low-beam headlamps will not illuminate. As the UBEC housing cools and contracts, the low-beam headlamp function may return. This condition does not affect the high-beam headlamps, marker lamps, turn signals, daytime running lamps or fog lamps.
Safety Risk Description:
Loss of low beam headlamps when they are required could reduce the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Repair Description:
Dealers are to replace the UBEC.
