I was at the dealer and heard there is a recall on v8 Camaros to replace noisy lifters. Anyone else heard ?

hamr56 · 01-04-2011, 03:59 PM

No, my lifters are so loud I can't hear anything.

Brolik10 · 01-04-2011, 04:02 PM

Yes, my dealer recently obtained all the parts to fix the issue..

my Camaro doesnt have this issue but my 2009 Sierra with a AFM 5.3l did this a few days back it knocked loud as hell until it warmed up, guess i should take her in to get work done

SSilver5gen · 01-04-2011, 04:51 PM

Is there a certain start vin number or is it all V8??

Brolik10 · 01-04-2011, 05:24 PM

TSB.

Interesting. If your warranty is voided but there is a recall do they have to honor the warranty?

Yes they do if it is a recall

I had mine repaired at the dealership for the lifter problem. Remember, this is not a recall, but merely a service bulletin from GM. Your car will only be repaired if there is a customer complaint. Because I work at the dealership, I was able to view the warranty claim and it was in excess of $1,900.00 paid for by GM. Best part is, I even got a Camaro (V6,1LT) as a rental for two days. Made me realize how much I love my 2SS!

does the lifter noise sound like a "rattling" sound on engine startup?
