TSB for GT500 / GT350 secondary timing chain tensioner [Service Guide attached]

[Calif-GT500]

Has anyone with a GT500 found theirs not activated? I noticed a couple of guys over in the GT350 forum had found theirs not activated. Wondering if its primarily a 350 thing??

I did not receive a notice nor is my car on the recall list. I did perform the check that was associated with the tsb and my timing chain tensioner was activated.

I checked a few VINs and found cars that were built in July, August, November and December 2020 that had recalls for the tensioner. For some reason a lot of the other cars were listed as no recalls for the tensioner. I did not check all 200+ cars on my list, so there are probably more that were recalled. If you haven't checked your car, now would be the time to do so.
