Consumer Description

I live in Michigan and my vehicle is a 2014 Chevy Equinox 2.4 liter with 93351 miles on it. Was driving vehicle home when all the dash lights illuminated and vehicle stalled. Towed vehicle to my house, called my mechanic told him what had happened and had him take a look at it. He had found that the rear main oil seal was leaking quite badly. With the recent bad weather we had with temps being quite cold my mechanic did some research and found a service bulletin (14882 special coverage adjustment-plugged pcv orifice in intake manifold) which in turn causes the rear main seal to blow out and start leaking. I reached out to some local dealerships and they claim my vehicle is not covered under that service campaign bulletin according to my VIN although year, make, mode, and engine does. This should very easily be able to become a recall for GM.
