Reported Hazard
According to the recall press release, if the manifold is hot enough and oil runs under the heat shield it may ignite a small fire which can spread to the plastic spark plug wire channel and increase the risk of an engine compartment fire. GM dealers will repair and replace the spark plug wire retainers free of charge on all affected vehicles. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Chevrolet, Oldsmobile or Pontiac to schedule service.U.S. Recall News: Press Release: GM Recalls Millions of Vehicles... (April 12, 2009) -
