Not yet, she is under wrap but weather is calling to be really nice March 2nd and probably will get her out of her slumber for a run.
I never noticed anything wrong before putting her away.

I never noticed anything wrong before putting her away.
Just got a call from my dealer today. My car (built on Feb 9th) is still sitting in the factory due to the recall. I was scheduled to do a trade in appraisal tomorrow but they just suggested me to push the appraisal to the end of March.
Based upon registered Canadian VINs, that means probably 200+ Corvettes have been built in the past month that are subject to the stop shipment order. They are still building more Canadian cars. You'd assume with vehicles backed up at the lot they would find a fix right away.
Mine was built at the same time. I can’t use it till the end of April anyway so not too concerned. If you had yours when could you be driving it ?
It was 12 degree C yesterday and 10 degree for a few days next week here in Southern Ontario haha. I am not too concerned as well but super excited and want to see it in my garage lol. I have already got new wheels and carbon fibre stuffs that I need to put on before the first meet in April.
Has it been established that the issue is software and not a part defect ? That would be an expensive exercise for GM . And a major pain for owners. Hmmm…
Yeah, hopefully it's an OTA fix. If it's a dealership thing, I won't be taking it in until it needs to go in for something else
It hasn't. I had dealerships calling me for information when cars were getting trucked to Michigan and it took weeks for GM to admit to what was going on.
The same situation is going on now. I have a very late 2023 with a 2024 transmission and everything is working perfectly for me without the IntelliBeam system.
There were no problems with the lighting system until Intellibeam was introduced. If you have a 2024 do some testing with your car.
Hi Scott, what’s the difference between the 2023 and the 2024 DCT?
M1L Dual Clutch Transmission Case Design Update – TechLink
gm-techlink.com
The baffles, oil pick up and pan were all changed or modified to prevent oil starvation in high g maneuvers eliminating the need for the extra 2 liters.
I was shocked to find that after removal of the air box and the fill plug with the new transmission, no fluid was visible when using a 5 inch dipstick the day after I took delivery. There had been no information published at the time about this new transmission nor the need for adding the extra 2 liters, but the car certainly seems better with the extra fluid.
I don't believe they have built any Canadian cars or at least have not added any VIN numbers off the production line cars to C8 Tracker since February 14th.
C8 Tracker shows 14 new Canadian VINs built since Feb 14th... though most are Eray and Z06. 3 Stingrays built. I assume the same headlight recall show apply to Eray and Z06?
So have you added the extra 2 litres of fluid or are they shipping the revised TX from the factory with it added ? The case was also changed somewhat as well I believe .It wasn't announced until September last year but M1L Dual Clutch Transmission Case Design Update – TechLink above VIN#37262 built on July 14th moved to the new 2024 transmission.M1L Dual Clutch Transmission Case Design Update – TechLink

Not sure about the Erays, but all the Stingray and Z06 VIN's added to the list after February 13th are previously built vehicles that have been set aside for QC or other line issue. I am referring to the February 13th Stringrays in sequential order. These cars are added to the end of the day or week as they clear QC.
The recall effects I believe all CANADIAN GM vehicles with Intellibeam from 2020-2024.

You might be right given the low number of Stingray VINs posted since Feb 13th. C8 Tracker just posted a new Stingray today Feb 24th that's going to Quebec, but that's probably a one off. Either way, Canada gets the shaft again. Turd-eau makes me pay $9k in luxury tax and now GM can't get it's act together.
I would assume this issue will be resolved quickly given the fact that it appears the dealerships cannot PDI the vehicles until the Intellibeam issue is patched.
Hi, I'm in the same boat with my purchase of a 2021. I have spoken to GM concierge service and all they would confirm is that there is a recall and there is no fix at this time.
The intellectual side says what's the problem, it's only February and you're not going to use the car anyway, while the emotional side says I want in my garage so I can look at it.
Service Ontario, the government agency that registers the car has confirmed that no car with an outstanding recall can be registered.
The biggest problem is the unknown, there's no guarantee that GM will address this problem anytime soon and it could drag on for a considerable length of time or it could be fixed promptly. Not knowing and lack of control is the issue. It's like delaying Christmas morning and the kids says when will we have Christmas morning you tell them, we don't know, Let me get back to you on that!
So, let's hurry up and wait!

Sadly that seems to be the case.
