Details

On certain Grand Prix GTP and Regal GS vehicles equipped with a 3.8L supercharged engine, degradation of the front rocker cover gasket may result in eventual oil seepage.

Under hard braking, drops of engine oil may be deposited on the exhaust manifold.

If the manifold is hot enough and the oil runs below the heat shield, it may ignite into a small flame and, in some instances, the fire may spread to the plastic spark plug wire channel and beyond.

An under-hood fire could result in property damage, personal injury or death.

Correction: Dealers will install an updated front rocker cover gasket.
