Default Fuse box issues with C7

My AC wasn't working in my new C7 (I live in Florida) and the apparent cause was a faulty fuse box. It's fixed now and everything seems to be functioning perfectly. The service department manager told me GM has issues with fuse boxes having to replace some 30,000 of them for various reasons.

Has anyone else had a problem with theirs that's related to a faulty fuse box? I wonder if there's that many problems why there hasn't been a recall.

Never heard of this problem so probably just you. Dealer misinformation again.

I tend to agree. I've never heard from any source that there is a widespread fusebox issue

Perhaps he's thinking of the C6 fuse box recall.

I diagnosed an issue with a friends a few days after he picked his car up. He also had no A/C compressor operation, you could push down on the A/C relay in the fuse box (underhood) and the compressor would engage. The dealer replaced his.
