Does this apply to the Chevy SS?

I think they were all 'built' prior to July.

 

[lockwood]

do we know from what engine or vin is affected?

 

[Redline 2017]

Yes the VIN range would be a ideal way of working out who is affected, how good is a warranty

 

[lmoengnr]

Although in following this issue with owners, it seems the majorities whose broke were built in September.

How many do you know of that have actually failed?

More than 25

 

[lmoengnr]

More than 25

Just in Australia?

How do they actually fail?

How do they actually fail?

Yes in Australia. They fracture at the end which touches the valve and snaps off. Some take the valve out too.

Actually, Engine number range would be more useful than VIN range. Vehicles weren't built 100% in VIN sequence.

Chevy SS finished around May IIRC.
