Chevrolet recalled Corvette vehicles. The low beam wire to the relay may internally fracture due to expansion and contraction. The dealer will modify wiring on affected vehicles. You won't usually pay for it.1
What’s Wrong
The low beam wire to the relay may internally fracture due to expansion and contraction. This may lead to the low beam not working when the engine bay is hot and the wire has expanded. When the wire cools the low beam may be re-connected.
