2005-2006 Chevrolet Corvette

Condition
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2005 and 2006 model year Chevrolet Corvette vehicles
equipped with a tilt and telescoping steering column (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. If the driver does not respond to the change in vehicle movement, a crash could
occur.
Correction
Dealers are to inspect the wire connection in the steering column, and if necessary, install an additional clip to secure the wire connection.
