Recall Alert: 2004 Buick Regal, Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo
Vehicles Affected: Approximately 1,200 model-year 2004 Buick Regal, Chevrolet Impala and Chevrolet Monte Carlo vehicles. Only Regals manufactured April 9 to June 26, 2003; Impalas manufactured April 8 to June 25, 2003; and Monte Carlos manufactured April 7 to June 25, 2003 are affected.
The Problem: In these vehicles, the valve cover gasket may leak. If leaking engine oil drips onto the hot surface of the exhaust manifold, a fire could result.
The Fix: Dealers will replace the spark plug wire retainer to redirect the dripping oil for free. Vehicles that have a supercharged 3.8-liter V-6 engine will also have the left valve cover gasket replaced free of charge.
What Owners Should Do: General Motors has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners can call Buick at 800-521-7300, Chevrolet at 800-222-1020 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at 888-327-4236 for more information.
