The most common one is the factory exhaust valve has too much clearance in the guide.. and it fails.... then takes out the block. Make sure that GM has fixed that. It is a free recall issue.

It sounds like you are abroad? Europe? Make sure you have it done. The 2008+ has the stronger transmission/differential compared the the 2006/2007 models.
