1 Engine Exhaust System problem

Failure Date: 05/13/2008

This is in regards NHTSA action number: ea07008 the recall replaces one of the valve cover gaskets. Obviously, when the car is brought in every gm dealer is going to tell you the other gasket is leaking also and should be replaced. I talked with the service manager at my gm dealer and he sees no reason why one side is different than the other. The recall references valve cover gaskets and hot exhaust system components which are on both sides of the engine. After being told that this may cause a fire most people are going to feel compelled to replace both side and wind up spending approximately $250. If there is no risk on the gasket covering cylinders 2-4-6, the recall as well as gm should state that, otherwise they should replace both.
