Default Engine noise

About a week ago my new C-7 Green Convertible developed a loud noise at times like almost a whirl sound under acceleration. It comes from the very front of the car.

I took it to the dealer today and it is the hydraulic idler pully and there is a bulleten out by Chevolet to replace this.

Does anyone know of this or had this problem?
