Poll- who had a failed oil pump on their Camaro?

I did and am curious how many others have?

Please list your year, build date and mileage at time of failure. I’ll go first:

2018, Oct 2017, 2,650 miles.

Question for you guys whose pumps failed. Had you had an oil change yet? If so,what mileage? My car also has a Oct build date and I currently have 1465 miles. Going to get oil change tomorrow. Just curious. Thanks.

Seems everyone with failed oil pumps are from build dates from July -October 2017 from what I see thus far. Mine failed at about 2,500 miles, build date Oct 17. First oil change by dealer was at just under 500 miles, second was at about 2,000 miles. If anyone works for GM, a supplier or has any way to help us figure out if it was isolated to a bad batch, but now fixed we’d all love to know. I’m having a hard time having trust with the new pump just installed. Unless I know the design was revised.

No oil change. Planned to change at 2500; almost made it. Dealer totally unconcerned with mileage w/o oil change. Everything covered by warranty including tow back to dealer.

IMHO, not changing oil had zero impact on oil pump failure.

I work for a GM dealer and there no confirmation from GM yet that there is any issues with a bad batch of oil pump so far.
