ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
What Happened
Your vehicle's engine, specifically the 3.8L supercharged V-6, has a gasket that helps keep oil inside the engine. Due to high temperatures, this gasket can degrade faster than usual, causing oil to leak out.
Risk if Unfixed
If oil leaks onto the hot exhaust manifold, it could ignite, starting a small flame. In rare cases, the fire could spread to the spark plug wires or other parts, potentially causing an underhood fire.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the engine's front valve cover and gasket with improved parts, remove a plastic cover and oil fill tube extension, and replace spark plug wire retainers, all at no cost to you. They'll start this process in May 2016.
