THERE HAS BEEN HEAVY FUMES SMELL COMING FROM MY 07 CORVETTE WHEN THE TANK IS FUEL IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO PARK IT IN MY GARAGE BECAUSE OF THE STRONG ODOR AND MY WATER HEATER IS LOCATED IN THE GARAGE. I HAVE TO HAVE THE TANK ON LOW IF I WANT TO PARK IT INSIDE. THE SMELL ALSO COMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN IT'S FULL THIS HAZARD NEED TO BE ADDRESS BEFORE THE MATTER LEAD TO SOMEONE GETTING HURT. WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS I WOULD THINK GM NEEDS TO GO BACK AND CHECK THE FUEL TANK AND THE COMPONENTS ATTACH TO IT FOR CRACKS THAT NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.
WHILE PARKED IN GARAGE STRONG FUEL ODOR EMITS FROM FUEL FILLER PIPE AND GAS CAP.. NOTICEABLE AFTER A FEW HOURS AND PARTICULARLY NOTICEABLE IF CAR COVER IS USED. MOST PREDOMINATE WHEN TANK IS FULL OR NEARLY SO.

I HAVE A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN AND AROUND MU 2007 CORVETTE C6. IT IS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE PLASTIC FUEL PUMP WHERE THE FUEL LINE EXITS THE TOP OF THE PUMP ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE FUEL TANK. IT ALWAYS CRACKS AND LEAKS FUEL. THIS HAPPENS TO ALL FACTORY INSTALLED ORIGINAL C6 FUEL PUMPS. THE GM REPLACEMENT PUMP IS MANUFACTURED WITH A DIFFERENT TYPE OF PLASTIC AND IS NOT SUPPOSE TO CRACK. MY 2007 CORVETTE HAS APPROX. 44,000 MILES AND HAS THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATEN ISSUE. AND MAY EVEN BURN DOWN MY GARAGE ALSO. WHY HAS THIS PUMP NOT BEEN RECALLED BY GM? ARE YOU WAITING UNTIL ENOUGH LIVES AND PROPERTY IS LOST???

May 14, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles manufactured March 29, 2004, through June 22, 2007. In the affected vehicles, the underhood bussed electrical center (UBEC) housing can expand and cause the headlamp low beam relay control circuit wire to bend. If the wire is repeatedly bent, it may fracture causing a loss of low beam headlamp illumination.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: The loss of low beam headlamp illumination will decrease the driver's visibility, as well as the vehicle's conspicuity to other motorists, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install a jumper wire to correct this condition, free of charge. The recall began January 2, 2015. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 13146. Note: Model year 2008-2013 Chevrolet Corvettes will be covered under customer satisfaction program number 14203 for the same issue.

GENERAL MOTORS IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005 THROUGH 2007 CORVETTE VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A REMOVABLE ROOF AND MODEL YEAR 2006 AND 2007 CORVETTE Z06 VEHICLES. THE ADHESIVE BETWEEN THE ROOF PANEL AND THE FRAME MAY SEPARATE. IF THERE IS A PARTIAL SEPARATION, THE DRIVER MAY NOTICE ONE OR MORE SYMPTOMS, SUCH AS 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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THERE IS A COMPLETE SEPARATION, THE ROOF PANEL MAY DETACH FROM THE VEHICLE. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN, IT COULD STRIKE A FOLLOWING VEHICLE AND CAUSE INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW DESIGN ROOF PANEL FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING APRIL 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438 OR AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.

2EA13007 · Simultaneous Loss Of Low-Beam Headlights
Opened Aug 23, 2013 · Closed Jun 24, 2014
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Exterior Lighting; Exterior Lighting:headlights
On May 14, 2014, General Motors (GM) submitted a Part 573 defect information report initiating NHTSA Safety Recall 14V-251 to remedy the subject vehicles.GM will remedy a defect condition in the underhood bussed electrical center (UBEC) by modifying the vehicle's electrical harnessing.GM also announced a customer satisfaction bulletin to address this issue on model year (MY) 2008-2013 Chevrolet Corvettes.Both programs will be conducted free of charge.According to GM, when the engine heats up and cools down (from normal use), the plastic material in the UBEC housing expands at a different rate than an electrical conductor routed within it.The difference in expansion rates results in bending of the conductor, a control circuit for the low beam headlights.After multiple thermal cycles, often taking several years of use, the conductor fractures resulting in an open circuit.When this occurs the low-beam headlights will not illuminate.After the engine is turned off and the UBEC cools, the conductor may temporarily reconnect and restore low-beam function, although subsequent failures will occur.This condition does not affect high-beam headlights, marker lamps, turn signals or fog lamps.Simultaneous loss of low-beam headlights could reduce the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. The ODI report counts noted above, involving the loss of low beam headlights, represents those received at the time of GM's recall filing; however NHTSA has since received additional complaints.GM submitted similar complaints in response to the agency's information request.Among the complaints reported to NHTSA, five alleged minor crashes in which the vehicle ran off the road or into roadside objects due to the sudden loss of headlights.Two of these complaints alleged minor injuries and three alleged property damage.Several other reports to NHTSA alleged close calls due to the loss of lighting.GM states that it has received no reports of crashes, injuries or fatalities as a result of this condition. GM's recall action appears to adequately address the safety risks in the subject vehicles of concern to ODI.Accordingly, the investigation is closed.In addition to recalling the subject vehicles, GM is covering MY 2008-2013 Corvettes, which contain essentially the same UBEC, under a customer satisfaction campaign.ODI notes that these vehicles exhibit a lower likelihood of failure due to their comparatively shorter service life.

PE13013 · Loss Of Low Beam Headlights
Opened May 6, 2013 · Closed Aug 26, 2013
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Exterior Lighting; Exterior Lighting:headlights
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this investigation based on 30 reports from consumers alleging that, after driving for a short time (5 to 30 minutes), both low beam headlights stopped working simultaneously and without warning. The low beam headlights remained inoperative for the remainder of the drive cycle, however no other lighting is affected.General Motors (GM) provided information in response to ODI's information request letter explaining that the loss of headlights is caused by a fractured low beam circuit wire in the underhood bussed electrical center (UBEC), a device that is similar to a fuse box. The UBEC is located in a high heat area near the engine, and the low beam circuit wire routing within the UBEC makes it susceptible to cyclical stress caused by thermal expansion.The investigation covers model years 2005-2007 Corvettes however ODI also has received four VOQs alleging the same condition in model year 2008 Corvettes. ODI is upgrading the investigation to an Engineering Analysis to further examine the consequences, frequency and scope of this problem.

Exterior Lighting
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this investigation based on 30 reports from consumers alleging that, after driving for a short time (5 to 30 minutes), both low beam headlights stopped working simultaneously and without warning. The low beam headlights remained inoperative for the remainder of the drive cycle, however no other lighting is affected.General Motors (GM) provided information in response to ODI's information request letter explaining that the loss of headlights is caused by a fractured low beam circuit wire in the underhood bussed electrical center (UBEC), a device that is similar to a fuse box. The UBEC is located in a high heat area near the engine, and the low beam circuit wire routing within the UBEC makes it susceptible to cyclical stress caused by thermal expansion.The investigation covers model years 2005-2007 Corvettes however ODI also has received four VOQs alleging the same condition in model year 2008 Corvettes.
