Yeah, and the only thing it does is fix a wire loom and gaskets I guess.

Just got myself a GTP so I gotta take it in.

Yeah. This must be the first engine every designed that can leak oil on the exhaust (under hard braking), the way people are running with this. Also keep in mind that there hasn't been a single case of fire due to this. The NHTSA said "That could start a small fire that could spread to a plastic spark plug wire channel and beyond, increasing the risk of an engine compartment fire, NHTSA said."

Not that it has happened, but it COULD! This is the NHTSA trying its edest to convince people they're still relevant, and GM, just like everyone else, doesn't mess around with issuing recalls anymore.
