GM has issued a recall for 22,090 Chevrolet Corvettes from the 2005-07 model years and Corvette Z06s from the 2005-06 model years, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Which apparently likes to type IN ALL CAPS to reassure us that they are on top (har!) of the situation.

The recall announcement of the Corvettes could potentially impact 22,090 cars built in Bowling Green. The release says:

The recall affects vehicles equipped with a removable roof; the adhesive between the roof panel and the frame may partially separate causing snapping noise, wind noise, a roof panel movement or leaking in the headliner. It’s possible that the roof panel could detach from the vehicle entirely. If the Corvette is in motion, the panel could strike a vehicle following behind it and cause an accident.

Dealers will install a newly designed roof panel for free. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 800-630-2438 or NHTSA’s hotline at 888-327-4236.
