Possible Valve Spring Issues
My car was built in July.. Lots of C8's are dropping like flies right now so I can only assume some Camaros will be affected

My new SS 1LE falls in those months as well. Let’s hope we don’t have this issue.
Just checked and it’s a July car as well. Last edited by Venomcustom; 09-24-2020 at 10:13 AM. |

I haven't even picked up my new 21 1LE and it was built on August 8th. I don't think I'm going to wait for an issue. I think I'll just pay the dealer to replace them. A LOT of Corvettes have popped up with the issue already.

Talked with Chevrolet here. They haven't had a LT4 car recalled yet. Talked with Hennessey who confirmed my stock single springs have been replaced with PSI dual springs (which I might have to discuss with a dealer someday)

Issue is affecting new cars, too. I just picked up a 2021 Camaro LT1 and 260 miles into it, the car left me stranded on the freeway. Cause: Broken Valve Spring. SMH

Sorry to hear about that. My build date for my 2021 2SS is the week of November 16.
Please keep us posted if you have any other problems. |

My 2021 was built on 8/26. Got 450 miles on it as of this weekend so far so good. Hoping mine does not have the valve spring issue.......ugh. First oil change will be this Friday.
