- [2015501](/recalls/tc/2015501.md), 2015-10-23: Engine. On certain vehicles equipped with a 3.8L engine, degradation of the front rocker cover gasket may result in eventual oil seepage.  Under hard braking, drops of engine oil may be deposited on the exhaust manifold.  If the manifold is hot enough and the oil runs below the heat shield, it may ignite into a small flame and, in some instances, the fire may spread to the plastic spark plug wire channel and beyond.  An under\-hood fire could result in injury and/or property damage.  Correction: Dealers will replace the engine’s front valve cover and front\-valve\-cover gasket with new parts. The engine’s plastic “beauty” cover and plastic oil\-fill\-tube extension will also be removed, if they haven’t been already. Note: This recall supersedes and is an expansion of recalls 2008\-081, 2009\-105 and 2015\-145. All vehicles having been inspected and/or serviced under the previous recall will require re\-inspection and repair.
- [2009105](/recalls/tc/2009105.md), 2009-04-08: Engine. On certain vehicles equipped with a 3.8L naturally aspirated engine, degradation of the front rocker cover gasket may result in eventual oil seepage.  Under hard braking, drops of engine oil may be deposited on the exhaust manifold.  If the manifold is hot enough and the oil runs below the heat shield, it may ignite into a small flame and, in some instances, the fire may spread to the plastic spark plug wire channel and beyond.  An under\-hood fire could result in property damage, personal injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will remove the spark plug wire retention channel at the front of the engine and install two new\-revised spark plug wire retainers.
- [2008081](/recalls/tc/2008081.md), 2008-03-05: Engine. On certain Grand Prix GTP and Regal GS vehicles equipped with a 3.8L supercharged engine, degradation of the front rocker cover gasket may result in eventual oil seepage.  Under hard braking, drops of engine oil may be deposited on the exhaust manifold.  If the manifold is hot enough and the oil runs below the heat shield, it may ignite into a small flame and, in some instances, the fire may spread to the plastic spark plug wire channel and beyond.  An under\-hood fire could result in property damage, personal injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will install an updated front rocker cover gasket.
- [2004287](/recalls/tc/2004287.md), 2004-08-11: Lights And Instruments. Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 108.  Some of these vehicles do not meet the overhead sign illumination requirements in the Standard.  Less illumination may reduce the ability of the driver to read overhead signs when driving at night.  Correction:  Dealers will install new low beam headlamp bulbs in both headlamp assemblies.
- [2000003](/recalls/tc/2000003.md), 2000-01-05: Lights And Instruments. Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 108 \- Lighting Equipment and Retroreflective Devices.  The vertical vehicle headlamp aiming device \(VHAD\) may not be calibrated properly.  With the vertical VHAD set to zero, the vehicle headlamp may not meet the photometric aim requirements of the standard at several measured locations.  Also the VHAD vertical adjustment bubble does not maintain consistent positioning due to thermal instability.  Correction:  An insert containing instructions for optically aiming the headlamps will be provided for the owner's manual.
- [1999136](/recalls/tc/1999136.md), 1999-07-26: Electrical. Certain vehicles with the key in the "ON" position, may exhibit a condition in which the ABS motor shorts to its case and grounds through a flexible brake pipe.  This electrical short can cause extreme heating of the flexible brake pipe to the point where it can melt a nearby flexible plastic fuel hose, and could result in an underhood fire.  Correction:  Dealers will install a ground cable from the electronic brake control module to the engine compartment body rail.
