Keep getting this notice in the mail, should I even bother taking it to the dealer for recall?

underhood fires are kind of a big deal. lol

The recall is for the front and rear valve cover. Definitely a DIY job in my opinion. Fuck the stealership. A lot of people complain that the repair done by the dealer leaks after a year or so. Get the Felpro set and have at it.

But the fire isn't caused by the few drops of oil falling on the manifold.... The fires are caused by gasoline leaking out from the O-rings on the fuel injectors. If you have't put on a fresh pair of O-rings on, you gotta do it.

i had the dealership do mine... cuz it was free. so. why not.


granted, my valvecovers have been off since if i remember right. sooofuggit.

I'm not convinced that injector orings cause the fires.

the few burnt cars i fingerfondeled at the junkyard all seemed to start above the motor- some of the ones i played with even had intact spark plug wires

I think it's "probably" the valve cover. I think gm did a lot of research on it before issuing a recall.

I've also never had a car that leaked from the orings or had orings that looked like they could leak.

Not that fuel fires don't happen. I just think gm probably does a ton or research before issuing a recall.

 

[Yaj Yak]

i honestly don't have that same faith in gm

Ford ftw!

 

[Yaj Yak]

them neither

 

[RICH17]

I always thought that it was the fuel rail connectors right on top of the blowers

Yup. The O-rings in those connectors are also to blame. All the O-rings at the fuel line connectors, and injectors, need replacement for complete peace of mind.

Has the front Powerstop 12" brake upgrade plus Stoptech braided stainless steel brake lines done.

Showed that 19 year old paint some love today. Would love to retire this from winter beater status. Damn rust is starting to eat away the lower rockers..
