Question new 2011 2ss owner oil pressure problem

does any body know of oil pump problems with the gen 5 camaros? heard valvetrain clatter and then saw low oil pressure turn engine off message. Car is currently in for service and I am frantically awaiting the diagnosis. In some blogs online I have read that there is a TSB out from chevy and just looking for any info on this problem

Per GM service information minimum oil pressure is 6 psi hot @ idle.
