This is "old" and certainly not new. It's a REMINDER notice about the recall issued June 26th......
There has been several threads about this already. Cliff notes - all suspensions but FE4 (Z51 w/MRC) and not ALL C7's are involved. If your VIN is involved, you'll be notified.

NEWS: GM is recalling certain 2014 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles; REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS
Report Receipt Date: JUN 26, 2014
NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V377000

JULY 2014 -- General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles manufactured February 12, 2014, to March 14, 2014.

"Old" is relative, especially since GM didn't notify me through any personal channels. I found it when I looked at my OnStar diagnostics report. I'm sure others will find this "old" news new to them as well. Thanks for the detailed info.

You can go on line and check you VIN to see if your car is in the recall numbers. I did and last week had the shocks replaced. These were only on base cars produced between end of Feb. to mid-March 2014.
