I would steer clear of that dealership.
It's not a recall, it's Customer Satisfaction Bulletin #13384.
Here are the first paragraphs:

Here are the first paragraphs:
CONDITION
The rear differential assembly in certain 2014 model year Chevrolet Corvette vehicles may have been shipped from the supplier with insufficient fluid. Operating the vehicle without sufficient fluid in the rear differential assembly could produce a loud whine and/or gear or
bearing noise.
CORRECTION
Dealers are to inspect the rear differential fluid level and add fluid, if necessary. If fluid is required, dealers are to also road-test the vehicle and listen for rear axle noise. If a whine, gear or bearing noise is present, dealers are to replace the rear differential assembly.
VEHICLES INVOLVED
All involved vehicles are identified by Vehicle Identification Number on the Investigate Vehicle History screen in GM Global Warranty Management system. Dealership service personnel should always check this site to confirm vehicle involvement prior to beginning any required inspections and/or repairs. It is important to routinely use this tool to verify eligibility because not all similar vehicles may be involved regardless of description or option content.

That's what I figured. Just thought I'd ask since maybe the low diff fluid thing that I knew about nearly 2 months ago had been escalated to a real recall.
Not a big deal, was going to stop by this weekend to have them do the reset thing since I can't access the PTM sub-menus and have them toss on my winter tires anyhow.

The Customer Satisfaction Bulletin was upgraded to a Recall. I would imagine there are still some low fluid level cars showing up, and GM wanted a better response.
Checking the rear diff level is not a part of the PDI.

My sales rep attended the Spring Mountain driving school as a part of his training for selling C7's and said the talk there was that the "Nashville" cars were sent there for the rear end fluid issue before being shipped to the dealers. Mine is #307 and was there for several weeks. If this was actually the reason I can't say with any degree of certainty, but that was the info being shared. Anyone else have a clue what was really being done in Nashville?

The rumors abound: eDiff problems, oil pan gasket, cold start up problems & a door fitment problem..
any or all could be the right answer or something entirely different...
