Consumer Description

THE DRIVER'S SIDE CAMSHAFT END PLUG WAS LEAKING OIL. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS, BUT THE DEALER SAID THAT MY CAR WASN'T COVERED. THE FIX WAS SUPPOSEDLY A PLATE INSTALLED OVER THE PLUG, WHICH MY CAR HAS, SO I SUPPOSE IT WAS INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY. I REMOVED THE PLUG AND HAVE NOTICED THAT THE LIP IS NOT SYMMETRIC ALL THE WAY AROUND THE SEAL, INDICATING THAT THE PLUG IS DEFECTIVE. I WOULD LIKE TO REPLACE MY PASSENGER SIDE PLUG, BUT I CANNOT REACH IT DUE TO A BRACKET. I CANNOT TELL WHETHER OR NOT THAT SIDE IS LEAKING. HALL ISUZU OF NEWPORT NEWS LOOKED UP MY VIN AND STATED THERE WAS NO OUTSTANDING RECALL ON THIS ITEM. *AK
