ZL1 pulled for quality control

I found out today that my ZL1 that was built on May 22nd was pulled for quality assessment. Still at 3800. I am glad that it is being done, just hope it isn't going to take a long time like the last QC hold. It must not be a large group of cars either because there is a member who's car got built the same day as mine and he took delivery of it already.

Anybody know what this could be about or how long it might take?

GM does random checks to insure that the build is going as planned still. They'll go over it with a fine tooth comb and make sure your car is built to specs. Depending in the QC pool it could take a few days or maybe a week. The only ones that know for sure are the GM inspectors.

Yup same here my car went to 4300 this morning and GM customer service called me today to say the car is in QC in Ontario which they couldnt explain why Ontario and not Oshawa. My car is getting the grey stripe so I thinking thats the real reason and not QC

I'm not really familiar with the ways motor companies do quality control, but I wouldn't think GM would hold the car for a few weeks.

I had possibly one of the very first delivered cars and there was a QC sticker in the window stating the car had been randomly selected, and had 18 miles on it when delivered to the dealership.
