CONDITION
General Motors has decided that certain 1998-2000 Corvette model vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the electronic
column lock may not function as intended. The condition could result in the failure of the steering column to unlock during
initial key-in and start-up. Should the column fail to unlock, the engine will stop running if the vehicle starts to move.
CORRECTION
Dealers are to install repair kit PN 88952427 for automatic transmission Corvettes in the US & Canada or repair kit
PN 88952428 for all manual transmission Corvettes in the US & Canada. For Corvettes sold in all other countries, both
manual and automatic, dealers are to install repair kit PN 88952428.
