ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

What Happened
Your vehicle's 3.8L V6 engine has a part called the front valve cover, which helps keep oil from getting into the exhaust system. In some cases, oil can still leak onto the hot exhaust manifold.
Risk if Unfixed
If the oil ignites on the hot manifold, it could catch fire and spread to the plastic spark plug wire channel, increasing the risk of a fire in the engine compartment.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty front valve cover and gasket with new, improved parts, and remove the plastic cover and oil filler tube extension, all at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
