Consumer Description

I HAVE A BLOWN HEAD GASKET WHICH RESULTED FROM A LEAK FROM THE RADIATOR INTO THE MANIFOLD. THERE WAS NO LOW FLUID LIGHT THAT WARNED OF THE LEAK WHICH WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS DEFECTIVE FLAW.THIS PROBLEM EXACTLY FITS THE RECALL 17V209000 (SEE ATTACHED) FOR EXACTLY THE MAKE, MODEL, YEAR, ENGINE, ETC. OF MY VEHICLE, BUT FOR SOME REASON MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO 2 MECHANICS AND THEY BELIEVE 100% THAT IT SHOULD INCLUDE MY VEHICLE AND ARE NOT SURE WHY ITS INCLUDED. PLEASE REVIEW AND PLEASE TRY TO ADD MY VEHICLE TO THE RECALL LIST
