He's looking for "goodwill," and might be successful. Hopefully his local dealer will help him. He needs to be polite and nice about it, and request help. If he's serviced his car at the dealer, that's a huge point in his favor. If he's been a repeat Chevrolet customer, that helps, too. I don't know what Chevrolet's goodwill is like, it could depend on the service rep they have for his dealer, but it's well worth the ask. Being well under the miles and barely over the time is in his favor. He should just say very politely that he loves the car and he's done some checking online and he's aware it's a KNOWN problem and would appreciate any help they can give him, probably the service manager will plead his case with the factory rep. Sometimes the dealers have some goodwill discretion and can dip into that account.

If they don't help him, he should search online for a dealer that discounts parts heavily online and get a tank to an Indy who can replace it without removing the back of the car.
