Default Recalls on C6??????

I heard today that there was a recall on the C6. Something to do with the harmonic balancer? Anyone know anything about this?

Salesman for local Chevy dealer told me they had held up delivery on C6's due to recall item related to the harmonic balancer. Could be wrong or could be BS.

cars built before early December are in the group that have possible issues with bolt on harmonic balancer / pulley. some cars have had a problem, most have not. there is no recall as of yet but there is a service bulletin to the dealer. if you are looking at a car built after mid December I would say this is probably dealer bs. search the forum for more info on the crank pulley issue.

By letter or something.

Or do you have to read forums like this to find out about a recall
on your car. (Do your own homework)

Thanks for any info.
you will be notified by letter

There is only one recall affecting the C6: the brake line recall that affected about 850 cars. The fix is simple and only requires checking clearance from the brake line to certain hot parts of the engine/exhaust and gently bending them out of the way if they are too close.
