GM Expands Truck Recall Over Axle Fault but your Camaro is ok?
I just got done reading and article about GM recalling trucks for bad axle for "weren't properly heat-treated and may not be durable."
wasn't this the issue with the early order camaro's yet there wasn't a recall on them. Makes me a little disappointed. Quote:

No truck rides on a Zeta chassis so I wouldn't expect them to have the same problem with their SRA's as a Camaro would with it's IRS. Additionally, I'm pretty sure you're referring to the drive shaft issue as I don't recall the Camaro's ever having axle problems.
PS... I'm not trying to be a jerk

The truck issue is to a larger extent than our cars.

Doesn't AAM make the smaller truck axles? Is CAMARO's differential from AAM, too? I haven't noticed. If that's the case, there's a chance, but I imagine they would've said something.

I think you're safe. My dad has an 08 z 4x4 and its fine. They ARE contacting the owners aren't they?

That is what I am talking about. . the tranny output shaft issue that wasn't heat treated right and they will fix under warrenty but did not issue a recall for the known issue.

I understand that the issue is a much larger one... BUT it is still an issue. They know who owns all the cars that have the issue. . . why not let us know. . . ?

It has nothing to do w/ output shafts. The issue is actually in the Eaton G80 locker, so unless you have a G80 in you Camaro... youre safe

the issue at hand is the bad heat treating of the medal, witch the Early Camaro SS output shaft has. . and it is a known issue. . yet there's no word sent to us that have a early 2010 camaro ss.

FranknBeans i understand your concern of this output shaft my car was delivered on 07/02/09 vin20151 your just wasting your breath and hope if GM is going to step up and put a tsb or anything on this issue. Im just hoping it snaps and i get a newer updated version of the tranny within my warranty period of course if it snaps after that i will be seriously pissed off.
