Follow Mr. Corvette. He's the only one with any real information (or information on the lack of information).
Some good news on the recall.

Yes, or if the posts start wearing you too 'thin', try reaching out to Jack.
He's like the 'Goodwill Ambassador' (at least that's what I've heard).
Seriously though, for as much bitching as you have to sift through on here, there is also a whole lot of great information provided.
A lot of these guys know more about Corvette's than the Dealerships, or the mechanics that work there.
I'm definitely not part of that group, but I certainly have picked up a lot of knowledge in my short time on here.
To all those who are waiting for recalls to get cleared up, I urge patience and understanding. Some of us had a nearly three year wait (two for me), and it's very very true what they say: "it's worth the wait". It's true I don't care much for dealer service departments (I always get the trainees lol), but I never met a dealer sales associate that didn't want to get you in a car and out the door asap.
The headlight recall is unfortunate, but blame government red-tape and inflexibility. It will get cleared up!
The DCT recall puzzles me though, I would have just extended a lifetime warranty of the affected transmissions and called it a day. Jeep did something like that on the ABS brakes when a had a 91 Cherokee some years ago. As others have said, I don't think too many Canadian C8s will be affected.
Keep calm, and carry your ready-to-go C8 accessories out to the garage and make sure you didn't miss anything!

I’ve ordered cars and trucks in the past that took a long time to get as well.. but they only required a deposit. This one stings a bit more though considering the car has been paid for and insured. Anyways, first world problems I suppose.. here’s to happy motoring in the summer.. hopefully it’s not in 25 
That is my problem, order and wait I can deal with. But having it sit in a showroom 15 minutes from my house is killing me I am going to go have a conjugal visit with it tomorrow LOL.I’ve ordered cars and trucks in the past that took a long time to get as well.. but they only required a deposit.

I hope you haven't named your car "Ken"...
With all due respect, it’s kinda comical that everyone is upset with the outstanding fixes for the issues, the duration of time it’s taking to resolve, and the utter disgust with Chev. The recall has been out there for a loooooong time with no resolution in sight.
@chevrolet … fix our damn cars for something that is seemingly not a big deal. Or else tell us it’s A big damn deal that will take forever

Scott, here are a few pics of my car. I got it a couple of weeks ago and paint corrected a few small spots then ceramic coated it right away before any serious road grime could appear. The weather has just started co-operating so am getting a few days here and there to drive it.Amazing story Graham, great to hear how much you liked the Ron Fellows school and how those cars had an impact on how you ordered your next car. I think it's great that all you guy's can now walk into your dealer loaded with information about Vin View and how the system works to get the answers you want and deserve!
Your car should arrive in Vancouver by tomorrow morning. As you know with your new car you will have an opportunity to return back to Pahrump. In speaking with the one of the mechanics there, they change the tires on those cars every 6 days. The retail value of the tires coming on your car is $3,200 and many people enjoy it so much there they keep going back multiple times. I like the sound of your new car more than the one you traded in. I would be interested to know if you saw the thread that I started last May when I was about to order my current car as you switched from Coupe to HTC?
Looking forward to seeing some pics of your new car have you seen your window sticker on line yet? I think I will go pull it now.
Coupe or Convertible, if you've had both and were going to order again?
Hi everyone, well it's just about that time for me to order again. Started with Coupe before the HTC's were being built and then tried out the convertible. Z06 is still not available for me. Just wondering from those out there that have had both, if you were going to do it all over again...canadiancorvetteforums.com

Thanks again for all your help through a challenging time.
Cheers Graham
