He also said it was the first one he's heard of in a camaro, and it was probably just a fluke.

Something like that wouldn’t show up on a Carfax though. Every detail of service history isn’t posted for several reasons with the primary being dealers and service facilities simply aren’t required to do so. Carfax maintenance history is typically just for basic services like oil changes, tire rotations and alignments. In-depth vehicle repairs will never be reported, they will simply say service completed.

You had an unrealistic expectation of what Carfax is, what it does, and how Information is posted to it.

I say all that to say, don’t sweat it. You have a sweet ride, enjoy it.
