CTS-V and ZL1 supercharger issue (recall)

[ArmedSuspect]

edit: really an "extended warranty"


seriously, the ZL1 just can't get a break!

According to the automaker, the engine's supercharger may not be functioning properly, causing the unit to develop a noticeable rattle noise at idle. The noise will normally go away when the engine revs start to rise, but the problem, if left unresolved, may lead to contamination of the internal shaft bearing grease and cause the bearing to squeal over time. This could lead to the bearing overheating, which in turn could cause the engine to seize or simply fail to start.

Known issue to be honest. ZR1 guys usually upgrade when doing a pulley as well.

GM just covering their ass before all the smoke clears then i guess?


edit: after looking a ZL1 over a week ago, i'm shocked at how long a blower swap / removal would take!

is it that bad on the V too?
