Greetings,
I'm working on a investigation involving a recall that has me a bit concerned. It involves older Grand Prix and Regals leaking oil. The recall came out in March. NHTSa #08V11800. However, it is a good marketing point. I've been sending out the following email and getting a good and thankful response in return.

I just finished a vehicle fire investigation on a Grand Prix and found a significant recall issue. The issue is the fire started with an oil leak in the front rocker cover. Oil leaks usually cause fires after the vehicle has been parked for a 5-15 minutes. Not very good if you just parked it in your garage.
The recall covers Buick Regals and Pontiac Grand Prixs manufactured from 1997 to through 2003. Specifically those models with a 3.8 liter supercharged V-6 engine. Any of the GT or GTP Grand Prixs or Regal GS models will have this engine. The recall came out a few months ago and it seems the front rocker gasket is deteriorating. Unfortunately, this is right over part of the exhaust manifold.
These fires present in a predictable manner and are relatively easy to investigate. Call me with any questions.

Regards,
