Default Problems with rings on 2001s?!

I know someone that took their 01 vette to a dealer for excessive oil consumption and smoking and the dealer told them thats they are told to fix the rings and piston on the 2001 <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0"> Anyone got info on this. My 01 is starting to smoke when I rev it up and I was curious about this. I only have 12k miles on it.

Thanks for the help. <img src="graemlins/gr_xmas.gif" border="0" alt="[santa]" />

Also check your pcv system for oil contamination. If you have alot of oil in the pcv, that will cause alot of consumption and smoking.
