What's wrong: On May 18, 2015, gm expanded the recall to cover an additional 49,751 2004 Pontiac grand prix vehicles manufactured January 6, 2003, to June 25, 2004. In the affected vehicles, the valve cover gasket may leak.

Why it matters: The leaking engine oil can drip onto the hot surface of the exhaust manifold, increasing the risk of a fire.

The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will remove the plastic cover and plastic oil fill tube extension and replace the front valve cover and gasket. These repairs will be done free of charge. The recall began on April 24, 2015.
