Anyone heard of this??

Are there other parts required?
Two possible additional parts, depending on the procedures used and the configuration of the car.
First situation would be if the dealership drops the exhaust to perform the procedure. There have been reports from some of the early recalls that the studs from the catalytic converter to exhaust have required replacement. Currently both the 2006-2007 2.4L and 2007 2.0L show the same part number for these studs, 12562640. These are tricky ones. The parts book lists them as being part of the converter. Dig around and will see that they are available seperately.
The second additional part is for cars that have a 4-bolt mounting bracket attached to the rear differential. These cars would include the 2007 Solstices with manual transmission and the driveline support bracket. This would be all GXPs and base Solstices built after the introduction of the support. The bolts required are #11515768. When you are making your appointment, make sure that these are in stock in your car requires them.
UPDATE: GM has issued 07-204D, or the fifth revision to the procedure. This version now recognizes the need for the 4 bracket bolts.
The bolts were always required, as the service manual procedure calls for them and the recall procedure was to follow the service manual procedure.
They were just not acknowledged in the recall bulletin parts listing.
