2014 Recall - Fuel Fill Pipe Anti-Siphon Grid Out of Position
General Motors is releasing Product Emission Recall 14689 today. The total number of U.S. vehicles involved is approximately 14633. Please see the attached bulletin for details. 2014 model year Chevrolet Corvette may have been built with an out-of-position "anti-siphon" grid within the fuel fill pipe. 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. https://recalls.gm.com/#/

Just ran my vin # 5 minutes ago through GM recall center and showed no current recalls for my car as of February 19 2015. I do this every so often too see if I have a recall that I am unaware of. Easy enough you punch in your vin # on their website and it tells you if you have a recall or not.

Hopefully this makes fueling less of a hassle.

Anyone that has a letter, please post what it says and any details you have on exactly what they have to replace.
I inserted the plastic filler tube that comes with the car for manual refueling, and I could see the grid inside the fill tube. It looked like it was butted up against a shoulder inside the tube only a few inches down, so as best I can tell, mine is still in place, and I can watch it to see if it moves.
Looks like you can replace the filler tube by just removing the wheel well liner to loosen the hose clamp, and then pull the filler out through the opening in the fender...
