Anyone else got a letter from GM regarding a 10 year warranty on C-6 clutch sticking to the floor?

Re: GM warranty

Yep. I wonder what qualifies as incorrect fluid?

Re: GM warranty

Here's some info from the service bulletin on the special coverage...incorrect fluid would be anything other than DOT 4.....

On some 2005-2013 model year Chevrolet Corvette vehicles equipped with a manual transmission (RPO MM6, MZ6, MH3 or ME2), the clutch system may fail if unapproved fluids are used to service the system or if a high-pressure pulse occurs during a clutch self-adjustment event. If the clutch system fails, the clutch pedal may not return if depressed. If the clutch pedal does not return, it may be possible to start the vehicle when the transmission is in any gear. This could result in unexpected vehicle movement when the engine is started.

Special Coverage Adjustment This special coverage covers the condition described above for a period of 10 years or 120,000 miles (193,000 km), whichever occurs first, from the date the vehicle was originally placed in service, regardless of ownership.
Dealers are to replace the clutch master cylinder with a revised unit that is more robust against pressure pulses, and that includes a new fluid reservoir with improved labeling for use of proper fluid. The repairs will be made at no charge to the customer.
For vehicles covered by Vehicle Service Contracts, all eligible claims with repair orders on or after September 3, 2015, are covered by this special coverage and must be submitted using the labor operation codes provided with this bulletin. Claims with repair orders prior to September 3, 2015, must be submitted to the Service Contract provider.

Vehicles Involved All involved vehicles are identified by Vehicle Identification Number on the Applicable Warranties section in GM Global Warranty Management system. Dealership service personnel should always check this site to confirm vehicle involvement prior to beginning any required inspections and/or repairs. It is important to routinely use this tool to verify eligibility because not all similar vehicles may be involved regardless of description or option content.

John, Thank You.....

Only have 24k miles on my 2006 so I don't expect a problem.

...and I use DOT4 for my clutch fluid so I should be OK.
I think the key is flushing it and keeping it clean.

Re: GM warranty

I wish they would address the issue of cracked fittings and the resulting fuel leaks at the pump fitting at the tank. There have been MANY failures, including fires of both cars and the garage/house they were parked in. Many have filed reports with the NTSB but still had to pay for the fix out of pocket to the tune of over $2K for the repair. Unfortunately, that repair simply replaces the pump with another that will have the same issue as it ages. Lots of reading but it turned me off from buying one - http://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/...ty-recall.html Maybe GM will pull their heads out of their azzes when enough damage is caused, people die or most likely, forced by the NTSB. Just like the ignition switch issue.
