Oh no, the sky is falling! Common quote over in the Corvette forum when people freak out over something small. Ok, so the recall has to do with the airbags and the parking brake cable.... not that big of a deal if you ask me... thought I read it only affected 2800 vehicles?

And about C&D engine failure... not confirmed but it may have been a fault within the oil filter itself that caused pieces of metal to basically grenade the engine. I spend more time in that forum than I do here, and I can tell you that engine failures are pretty rare. I think out of 31k C7's sold, there was like .04% engine failure rate so far, all of which were taken care by warranty. Not trying to defend Chevy, but I think some people are overreacting.

*Ok, I guess I may be trying to defend Chevy because I am think about getting a C7 next year!
