CAMARO6 - View Single Post - GM Halts Production of ZL1 over Brembo Brake Issues

I have tried to place my order for a new 2021 ZL1 at two dealers in the San Francisco East Bay Area within the last week. Both have told me GM will not accept any orders for ZL1s as there are issues with the Brembo brake pads. The reason is different with each dealer. One told me California outlawed the car because the brake pads emit copper when braking. The other dealer that accepted my order and will hold it until production resumes stated it was a nationwide hold relating to the Brembo brake pads.

Being impatient I found a new ZL1 in southern California that was close to what I wanted. I drove 350 miles with my enclosed car carrier trailer and upon arrival I was told there was a stop sale recall on the engine. They described it as a valve adjustment and flash of the ECM. I can't find any information online about a recall or even a TSB for the LT4 engine. Not knowing the skill level of the mechanic at this dealership I did not want a car that the engine was screwed with that ends up being a lemon law suit. I drove home empty handed.

Are there any Chevrolet people that might know what is going on here?
