Just had mine done also, it was just a software update for transmission...took 30min. They didn't give me anymore info than what was posted above about the turbine shaft failure...

Ok thanks, good to know!

Does this show up as a recall or do you have to ask the dealer about this? I had my car in for the waterseal recall and I heard nothing about this.

Once again, this is not a recall. It is a service update. And will only be done on cars in which the customer seems to feel that there some problem with the transmission. They will not do it on a car where the customer doesn't ask for it, or elicit the symptoms of the service update. That is GM/industry standard procedure.it will not show up in the recall website.

That's kinda messed up. So if the customer doesn't complain dont fix it attitude. Is it something that can go wrong outside of warranty? If so that sucks.

Like Glen said, it's a service update! Likely intended to support some noted issues that customers may have brought up. If there is nothing to fix then why would you expect them to service it for no reason? If anything if you ever go back in all you have to do is ask about it and if you want it done request it but as has been already noted it's for the V-6.

Relying on some of the feedback you will get on this site won't do you much good other than hearing how everything is falling apart.

Would be nice to know what symptom it's supposed to fix. Light throttle hesitation (dead zone) is a common complaint but i'm not positive if that's limited to the V6. Not sure what other issue people are having. I suppose that means I dont have any problem but it could just be that i rarely do whatever triggers it.

I did not bring in my car for a transmission related issue.

But since my car was test driven by the tech for my original unrelated concern, they ended up performing this service update. Which makes sense from the posts above.

Just got off the phone with my dealer he says the service bulletin was suspended. Couldn't provide a reason as GM didn't give one.

Thats messed up. I took mines in for the same recall. The dealer had to order the parts but it was only 1 day.

THIS^

also.. It's been suspended.. soooo nobody should be having this done. It was only a Transmission Control Module Reprogramming anyways. Does not say why it has been suspended at this time.

#33110: Service Update - 8-Speed Transmission Turbine Shaft Failure - (Sep 19, 2016)
Subject: 33110 – 8-Speed Transmission Turbine Shaft Failure **********TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED**********

TO ALL: 2016 Camaro V6 Owners With The GM 8-Speed 8L45 M5N Hydra-Matic Automatic Transmission. 9-16-2016

There is a Factory Service Update Bulletin # 33110 , that came out this week on an upcoming Recall on this "Turbine Shaft" part inside of these Transmissions, as this Shaft has been determined to cause "8 Speed Transmission Turbine Shaft Failure", because of Structural Stress Cracks found in them from the factory!

The procedure for GM Technicians to Replace the "Turbine Shaft" can take between 3 to 4 days to complete the job, as it involves the Removal of the Transmission and the "Turbine Shaft" will be replaced, then the transmission will be reinstalled back into the car.

At this time, there is "No Replacement Turbine Shaft" available, as GM has commisioned a company to make the Updated Replacement Part, as the factory Turbine Shafts are Defective in all of these 8L45 8-Speed Automatic Transmissions in our 2016 V6 Camaro's.

It is my understanding that GM will Mail Notices to all Camaro V6 8L45 Transmission Owners when the Replacement Part becomes available!

Wow that is a bad **** up on GMs part. FML.

EDIT: Nevermind. I'm confused as I thought the transmission in our cars was the 8L90.

This guy's service department only had him in for 30 minutes to deal with a similarly titled TSB.
