just checked mine and it is on the list. 25772 built 5/14/2014. I think I there was an email sent to me about service but I disregarded it because my car is covered for the winter.

For those of us who haven't received our cars as yet, why is fueling "a hassle"?

I just called the dealer. They need to order the parts. They are also going to replace the windshield washer tank which was part of a service bulletin even though mine is not leaking.

I just had that tank replaced earlier this month, mine wasn't leaking either, but figured I may as well get the updated part.

Some Vette owners have an issue getting fuel in the car. The pump keeps clicking off. Maybe the reason is the anti syphon devise is cocked, and not allowing fuel to flow freely??

I just got off the phone with my dealer, they're supposed to inspect the car first before ordering the part. I'm dropping mine off on Tuesday next week.

I have had this problem from day one. I can only get fuel into my car is the tank is way low like 1/4 full. If it is more than 1/2 full no way can I top it off. Dealer says there are no bulletins and therefore I don't have a problem.

I suspect that "inspection" is what I just did.... Use the manual fill spout to look down into the fill tube and see if the grid is in place...

Mine looked to be in the correct position.

Makes sense, I'll check. I'm going in anyway to get my armrest replaced under warranty so I'll let them do the inspection too.

Vin# 164XX Built 2/21/14 made the list. Just sent an e-mail to my Service guy asking if the tech has to review or if they'll order and replace. I have never had a problem with filling up. Had not heard about the washer tank replacement. This is becoming a PITA...3 recalls in less than a year! Never a single problem with my '86, '98, '01, or '07. And I own a lot of GM stock...rethinking my position on this.

Just heard back from my Adviser and they have to order (one week) the fuel filler neck and replace the entire assembly. Apparently no need for an inspection first.

As a result, the grid may move over time and become located from slightly deeper in the fuel fill pipe to totally dislodged from the pipe and move to the bottom of the fuel tank. Your GM dealer will replace the fuel filler pipe, and if necessary, inspect the fuel tank for the dislodged anti-siphon grid. Just came across this info. Sounds like GM will be mailing out info on March 3.

Just thought I'd add GMs website for recalls if anyone needs it.

I just spoke to my dealer. Part is on order.
