General Motors Co. is recalling about 22,000 Chevrolet Corvettes due to the risk that the roof could separate due to a bad roof and adhesive binding the roof panel to the frame. Affected by the recall are 2005 – 2007 Chevrolet Corvette and 2006 – 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 with a removable roof.

The adhesive between the roof panel and the frame may separate. In a partial separation, there would be a snapping noise when driving over bumps, wind noise, poor roof panel fit, roof panel movement/bounce when a door or hatch is closed, or a water leak in the headliner, according to Chevrolet’s posting on the NHTSA website. The carmaker also posted that if the roof does get completely separated, the roof panel may detach from the vehicle and if this happens while driving, “it could strike a following vehicle and cause injury and/or property damage.”
