Did you get the valve cover recall done?
03-19-2009
moved to Tech section.
Valve cover gasket needs replaced.

All Grand Prix's leak oil man.......
A front valve cover is pretty easy to do....
03-19-2009
is that what this recall is? just the valve cover gasket? if it s then i gotta fix that asap
03-19-2009
its a free fix obviously. mine was leaking too before i brought it in
03-20-2009
you just bring it to the dealer and it gets done?
03-20-2009
It only applies to 97-03 GTPs. No recalls for non-GTPs yet.

I know it's abit late to be posting in this particular thread, but does anyone know if there is a cut-off date or mileage for service recalls? I just bought my 1999 Grand Prix GTP ,the prior owner tells me he has done none of the service recalls..
Thanks for any responses!

from what i understand, once a service recall is made, it is valid, until the problem has been fixed..
On my old 91 nissan 240sx, i got brand new automatic seatbelts in 2008 because of a recall.
Im not sure how pontiac does it, if you have to recieve the recall notice before they will preform the work, or if they simply run the vin to see whats been done or not.

I would also like to know as my gaskets are leaking as well.........was the recall for the front valve cover only or for both?
08-25-2009
I am pretty sure they will only do the front. I think you can get gm to pay you to do it your self or at least they should give u some gaskets. Try to hit them up for both gaskets and do it your self and save them the labor. I am pretty sure they would do it.

the recall is for GT's also. i just had mine done a week nd a half ago
08-25-2009
Thought they just pull out the spark plug channel on the gt's?
08-25-2009
Actually theres 1 for both. just call any pontiack (gm) dealer and give them the vin they will tell u if theres a recall on it.Originally Posted by Sabrewings

for gtp owners........it is recall 7035 and it is for the front one only. There should be no restraints on this due to age or mileage and yes they can look it up via the VIN #.
