GM recalling 2005-06 Corvettes over possible tilt and telescoping steering column problem




GM is recalling certain model year 2005 and 2006 Chevrolet Corvette passenger cars manufactured between March 2004 and January 2006 equipped with a tilt and telescoping steering column (rpo n37). In rare cases, repeated movement of the steering column may cause a signal interruption within the column. If this occurs, the message, "service active handling system" will appear in the driver information center, and one or more of the brakes may apply, possibly causing the vehicle to pull to the right or left.
GM will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about April 30, 2010. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 and GMC at 1-866-996-9463 or at the owner center at http://www.gmownercenter.com.

GM's recall campaign number is n100118. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to Safercar.gov .
