Default C6 UBEC Recall

Has everybody received the UBEC Underhood bussed electrical housing recall? apparently from the heat of the engine causing the wire to expand and contract numerous times you may lose your low beams.

Have you had this repair done?

How long did it take?

What is involved?

Is this required for a garage queen that does not have thousands of mile a year (approx 2000 yr for me)?

Says Chevrolet will install a jumper wire.

Is this something I can do myself?

I would love to see a pic of this repair if anybody has one.

Does the bumper or headlight assembly's need to come off or out?

Thanks for any info you can supply.

Search the Corvette Action Center's Knowledgebase for UBEC. There's two recall notices there:
