GM is also recalling 111,889 Chevrolet Corvettes from the 2005-07 model years for possible loss of low-beam headlamp operation in the wake of several hundred complaints. GM is also extending customer satisfaction coverage for 2008-13 Corvette cars, but not issuing a recall.
When the engine is warm, the underhood electrical center housing could expand, causing the headlamp low-beam relay control circuit wire to bend slightly. After the wire is repeatedly bent, it can break, which would mean the low-beam headlamps will not light. As the housing cools and contracts, the low-beam headlamp function may return. This condition does not affect the high-beam headlamps, GM said. Loss of low beam headlamps when they are required could reduce the driver’s visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. There are no reports of crashes or injuries related to the issue.

My "05 was affected. It stranded me 50 miles away from home.
I replaced it (the fu$e box) to the tune of $600. I still own the car (which I still love and drive), but so far, GM is not reimbursing the cost to those owners who did (on their own dime) what GM should have done.
This does not affect the C7s.
