Thread: Valve cover gasket Recall

Hey guys, so i have a 1999 grand prix gtp and stumbled upon this conversation on this site about a recall for gasket covers for grandprixs.
Does anyone know whether GM is still doing this? Coz i have the burning oil smell in my car and through AC.

Yes they are still doing recalls for these. I would check the dealer for the maintenance records for your car in case it might have been done by the previous owner. If it hasn't been done they should do it free of charge through the recall. Mine were done by the previous owner and I confirmed that by checking with the dealer.

i would just spend the 20 mins and do it myself, if its leaking. I just dont trust others to work on my car. Plus they only do the front, and usually they both need to be done at the same time. If i remember correct you by them in pairs.

Thanks guys for the info! Am going to first check with dealers close by home before I make a decision on whether to do it with them or have someone replace both gaskets for me. I have no tools to do this job and prefer someone to do it. But yeah, if I could i would do it myself.

So I just found out that the first owner to my car took it in for the recall. So i have to do it on my own.
