i bought a 1998 corvette on april, 4th 1998. my steering wheel has locked up. i started to check around so i could find what caused it. after checking i found that there was a defect in it, and that the allowable time to have it corrected by general motors was february, 8th 2008.

Do you drive a 1998 CHEVROLET CORVETTE?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
