2007 Chevrolet Aveo recalls
Recall 14V-261: Exterior Lighting
Problem: General Motors is recalling certain model year 2004-2008 Chevrolet Aveo vehicles equipped with daytime running lights (DRL). In the affected vehicles, there may be heat generated within the DRL module located in the center console in the instrument panel, which could melt the DRL module.
Risk: If the DRL module melts due to the heat generation, it could cause a vehicle fire.
Fix: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install a revised DRL module, inspect the wiring connector for heat damage, and clean the DRL circuit grounds. Owners were sent interim notices on August 14, 2014. The recall began on February 6, 2015. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet). General Motors recall number for this campaign is 14236.
Recall 06V-398: Fuel System, Gasoline
Problem: On certain passenger vehicles equipped with a 1.6l engine, during a ncap severe frontal crash test, the fuel line in the engine compartment developed a fracture.

Risk: If these conditions occurred in an actual crash, a vehicle fire could occur.
Fix: Dealers will replace the fuse block and install a new section of fuel line that has been redesigned free of charge. The recall began on november 16, 2006. Owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438.
