General Motors has issued a recall for 111,889 Chevrolet Corvettes from model years 2005-'07 to repair low-beam headlights. The Chevrolet recall is part of a set of five recalls comprising 2.7 million vehicles in the U.S.
"Loss of low-beam headlamps when they are required could reduce the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash," GM said in a statement, as reported by Edmunds.com.
The issue hasn't affected other light functions such as high-beam headlights, marker lamps, turn signals, daytime running lights or fog lamps, Edmunds reported.
Nearly 3 million vehicles have been recalled altogether worldwide for potential problems ranging from brake issues to windshield wiper failures.
GM seems to be exhibiting maximum caution in light of the ignition switch failures that belatedly led to the recall of 2.6 million small cars.
For the 2005-'07 Corvettes, GM has received "several hundred complaints" but no reports of accidents, injuries or deaths.
"When the engine is warm, the underhood electrical center housing could expand, causing the headlamp low-beam relay control circuit wire to bend slightly," GM said in its description of the Corvette recall, as quoted by Edmunds. "After the wire is repeatedly bent, it can fracture and separate.
"When this occurs, the low-beam headlamps will not illuminate. As the housing cools and contracts, the low-beam headlamp function may return."
GM hasn't yet provided further details on the recall's timeline. Owners should get in touch with the dealership for the next steps, Edmunds advised. They can contact GM's customer service at 1-800-222-1020.
Of the latest set of recalls, the largest is for around 2.4 million 2004-'12 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-'07 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx, 2005-'10 Pontiac G6 and 2007-'10 Saturn Aura vehicles.
GM also announced a settlement of $35 million on Friday following a federal investigation into the company in connection with the problematic ignition switches.
