Got the letter

Checked with GM Canada this morning.
No extended warranty showing and no letter, so far....... 2018 , base, built late June 2017.
Does any one know if this effects all C7's ??
If GM has just one supplier for these components, which I doubt, then for sure all C7's will be effected.

All auto's have recalls, I don't really believe it devalues the car, buy a new one if you don't want mine! LOL! and as for older corvettes, all have issues even the low mileage ones. I loved them all and very dependable prospective to C1 thru C7 models.

I went to the web site list on the bottom of the letter www.gmrecallcentre.ca and no recall shows up for my 2015 Z51

You probably missed the other responses. Again, the program being discussed in this thread is NOT a recall, so I guess in a way you are correct -- checking a RECALL website is useless for checking NON-RECALL programs.

Well, this is interesting. I just agreed price on a 2016 at a dealer (non-Chevrolet), so I went to mychevrolet.com, created a new account and then plugged in the VIN. Lo and behold it does have fuel tank extended warranty. So, should I walk and find a 2018 or 2019, or take the car?

Good catch. The NHTSA would be interested in why they are using this term.

This is a situation where GM can step up and at least offer some free credit for GM parts & accessories on top of just the special warranty.
How about one of those Jake Skull intakes?

Never had a problem with a GM product until i bought my first corvette! And i go back to 1965. It is low bid and corporate bean counters and they do not care about you because they already have your money!

I think it is the cheap parts they are sourcing out. Would be interesting to know who and where this part was made. Buddy bought 16 z51, dealer topped it off with gas drove home and next morning gas puddle under car. Took them two weeks get the part and fix and like other said, had to tear the whole rear end off to get to it. GM never learns. IF I have issues, this may be my last newer corvette. May go back to a C5 or C6, I know they had problems too but didn't cost 60K plus.

The letter arrived in my mailbox today.
I tend to leave my gas tank completely full with Costco premium and it can sit for days in my garage before I drive it. Perhaps I need to leave it 1/4 to 1/2 full from now on...?

The most important thing everyone should be noticing is that a critical component of their car now has an extended warranty.
Sounds like good news to me.
