Consumer Description
I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I SEE OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME ENGINE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY VALVE COVER GASKET LEAKED OIL ONTO THE ALTERNATOR AND CAUSED IT TO FAIL PREMATURELY. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN APRIL OF 2014 AND HAS NOW HAPPENED AGAIN IN JUNE OF 2015. OTHER MODELS UTILIZING THE SAME ENGINE HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. WILL THIS MODEL BE RECALLED?
