What happened

General Motors is recalling certain 2005 and 2006 Chevrolet Corvette passenger cars manufactured between March 2004 and January 2006 that are equipped with a tilt and telescoping steering column. In rare cases, repeated movement of the steering column may cause a signal interruption within the column. When this occurs, a "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM" message will appear in the driver information center, and one or more of the brakes may apply unexpectedly, possibly causing the vehicle to pull to the right or left. If the driver does not respond to this change in vehicle movement, a crash could occur.

GM will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on April 30, 2010. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, or visit the Owner Center at www.gmownercenter.com.
