    Its a recall to ensure that the Dampner is seated properly, It does not need replacement. Just needs to be retorqued.

All of these failures may lead to engine repair or replacement.

          Does not apply to all vehicles. Depends on the VIN#. Not all G6's will need this done.

          Vehicles affected are within these vin breakpoints:
          2005 G6: 54142346 to 54182354
          2006 G6: 64100071 to 64113430

          See if the last 8 of your vin falls within that breakpoint.
