Got my recall notice today...
Dear Chevrolet Customer:
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 203 model year Chevrolet Corvette vehicles. When you remove the ignition key, the electronic column lock (ECL) system prevents turning of the steering wheel. When the vehicle is started, it unlocks the steering system. Two conditions can prevent steering while the vehicle is moving:
1. Your vehicle is designed so that if the column fails to unlock when you start the vehicle. If voltage at the powertrain control module (PCM) is low or interrupted, however, the fuel shut off may not occur and the vehicle can be accelerated while the steering is locked.
2. During quick cranks, the ECL lock pin may not withdraw fully and, in vehicles where there is abnormally low clearance to the lock plate, there may be contact between the pin and lock plate. This can cause a noise or ratcheting when the steering wheel is turned or, if there is insufficient clearance, the steering wheel cannot be turned.
If one of those conditions occurs, a crash could occur without warning.
