Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GT THAT HAS THE 3.8 LITER V6 AND I JUST HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE ON MY CAR. INITIALLY WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN, THEY SMELLED A BURNING SMELL WHEN THEY OPENED UP THE HOOD. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED 2 GASKETS AND THEN A WEEK LATER, MY ENGINE BROKE. IT MAY NOT ONLY BE UP TO 2003. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN THE REAL PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH. THE DEALERSHIP/WARRANTY COMPANY REPLACED THE ENGINE WITH A REBUILT ENGINE. HOW DO I FIND OUT IF THIS ENGINE IS ONE OF THE RECALLED ENGINES. IS THERE SOME KIND OF SERIAL NUMBER ON THE ENGINE THAT WILL LET ME KNOW? *TR
