Is this related to a specific model or all Vette engines?

No real details. My guess is they don't know. I read somewhere they had two different bearing suppliers one making good ones one not so good. I bet they dont even know what motor has what bearing makers bearing in it.

Date reported dec 1, 2014 Surprised nothing new has been reported. Maybe a supporting dealer can chime in.

Original report date is 12/1/14 so I'm guessing it's going to be early production '15s, if it amounts to anything at all.
