Just wondering.
The same question could be applied to the chirping, leaky taillights and window scrolling issues.

Either this is an issue that's come up recently due to differences between manufacturing and pre-production, completely overlooked during testing, or this isn't "normal" and it only affects a minority who are aggressive with their cars.

I expect an ECU reflash to be available by the end of August, they'll warranty any stock vehicle failures (hopefully regardless of track time) and it will die down like the CEL/SL did. At least, that's assuming the failure is related to the knock and not the heat, if it's the heat then they'll need to change parts or figure out how to keep the engine cooler, that would be a huge mess.
