Details here along with phone numbers...
Repeated movement of the steering column could interrupt the signal within the column, which will illuminate the message “Service Active Handling System.” In rare instances, this could apply one or more of the brakes and pull the Corvette to the right or left. If the driver is caught off guard, this could lead to a dangerous situation.

Too bad they don't offer this for C5s

Thanks for the info. Will contact my dealer.

And I thought it was just because the car didn't like my driving...

This problem was reported about July 09 and GM issued a technical service bulletin (TSB) to fix it by installimg a special clip to prevent interference between the column movement and wiring for stability control system; however at that time they wouldn't make it a recall. So you had to buy the part for about $10 and install it yourself or pay for a service call visit to the dealership for the TSB to be performed. Someone here on the forum posted DIY instructions and pictures on how to install the clip. A search will probably find that post. I'm glad they finally are doing a recall, because I never got around to doing the procedure. It is a sefety issue and should have been a recall long ago.

GotChrist?

I wonder if they will reimburse me and my supplemental warranty company as I had this done last year?

Got the recall notice in the mail today about this and also the top problem. Good thing, because I was getting ready to take the top in anyway because it is making some funny noises and I sure don't want it to fly off and decapitate someone!

Gm would probably have to borrow some more money from Obama to do that!


Incidently, for those not familiar with this issue, it only applies to vehicles with the telescoping column (part of 3LT package).

GotChrist?

mmm, didn't they pay the loan money back with the new TARP money he granted them. I'm so lost with the slight of hands, lies, and fallacies of the present congress and prez, that I think we're witnessing the greatest magic trick ever played on America.... and the audience is going hog wild for it. They want more. When the curtains close they are going to find their wallets have been pick-pocketed. They never saw Simon Legree pull their money out while he had his arms wrapped around them. Nosirreejimbob. That was a hug of love.

Does that mean I'll be reimbursed for the repairs?

CQRT

Got my "Safety Recall Notice" today too - - `bout time . . . hope they can match Precision Red . . . . a new top would be nice . .

What part of the fact that the government still owns 60% of GM stock do you not understand? When the rest of us that want GM cars in the future keep buying GM cars, the government will make money on that stock. That would be terrible, wouldn't it?

Got my letter today, along with the recall for the service active handling wire harness clip.

Along with a letter of how to be reimbursed if you spent money on either of these issues before now.

I just bought an 05 and noticed this "service active handling system" message coming on and was wondering what that was all about. Guess I will be taking it in soon for the recall.

I bought my car (2005) used in 2008.. it only had 6000 miles on it, and I got the bulletin today re: the Top & wiring.. I DO have the telescoping steering wheel..

I stopped at the dealership, & am going in Fri.. I did a check on my car , & the roof had foam put in it when it only had 2000 miles on it.. I'm guessing this took care of the roof problem, however when the dealership looked up my VIN they said they would have to check my TOP again, and in Worst Case it would have to be repainted...

I'm hoping the foam that was done back when it was new took care of my roof problem... We'll see about the other one (steering column)

PS I gave them a PBA card, and they will install my DSV break handle (I had a problem & couldn't get it on)

I also asked if I would have any problems because I have a Vararam Intake, & a Cartek Tune... I was told "Just bring the car, coffee & donuts" oh and some reading material... LOL

I guess I got lucky with the dealer I went to...

I got my letter in the mail today, guess I will be calling them and going in soon.

Tried a search and could not find DIY post. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
