I haven't got that letter for my 10 GS.

I recently received my letter also. States only to bring the car in if experiencing the symptoms, which I seem not to be. But wondering if they need to remove/replace the tanks and fuel pump, if this would be the perfect time to put in a higher pressure fuel pump if anyone is thinking of supercharger or the like. Hmmm.

Haven't received one for my '09 base model yet. Is there an expiration date on the letter or is it blanket lifetime coverage for this problem?

Only 1 model year of the LS2 was affected.
2007 - 2013
Here is the short version for those who haven't seen the letter nor wish to dig through all of the pages of the Fuel Leak sticky...
"Special Coverage Adjustment
15682 Primary Tank Module Flange Fuel and Vapor Leaks
Reference Number: N150682
Release Date: July 2016
Condition
Some 2007 to 2009 model year Cadillac XLR and 2007 to 2013 model year Chevrolet Corvette vehicles may have a condition where a fuel odor is detected, fuel droplets appear below the left-hand fuel tank with fuel gauge level above 1/2, or a malfunction indicator lamp illuminates due to a leak path in the left-hand fuel pump module flange.
Special Coverage Adjustment
This special coverage covers the condition described above for a period of 10 years or 120,000 miles (193,000 km), whichever occurs first, from the date the vehicle was originally placed in service, regardless of ownership.
For vehicles covered by Vehicle Service Contracts, all eligible claims with repair orders on or after July 25, 2016, are covered by this special coverage and must be submitted using the labor operation codes provided with this bulletin. Claims with repair orders prior to July 25, 2016, must be submitted to the Service Contract provider.
Correction
Dealers are to replace the left hand fuel tank fuel pump module. The repairs will be made at no charge to the customer."

If you read my post above, it potentially affects 2007 -2013
*for clarification, it says 2007 - 2009 Cadillac XLR... for the Corvette it says 2007 - 2013

Everytime GM sends me a letter to fix a problem and they have a mileage limitation, I'm always beyond the limit.
Even though I haven't had the problem, it does show that I've had more fun than they expected.
