General Motors Corp. is recalling more than 30,000 Chevrolet Corvettes because of a defect that causes detachable roofs to fly off while driving.
The recall issued this past week affects certain 2005-2006 models with painted roofs. The adhesive between the roof panel and magnesium frame may separate, GM spokesman Alan Adler told The Detroit News.
The Corvette’s hard top weighs between five and 10 pounds. If there is a complete separation, the roof panel may detach from the vehicle and it could strike another vehicle.
Of course, those who need to worry about this the most, are those driving the Corvettes who have something on their “roofs” that could fly off too.
