I recently got a paper in the mail about the recall for the power steering on my 06 SS/SC. Should I take this in and get it replaced even though i've never had a problem with it? Or does it only apply to people having this problem currently?


Also my valve cover gasket is leaking oil, I read it was a TSB, will they fix this for free as well (or are they supposed to I should say..)

Yes, TSBs and recalls are free. They pose a threat to your safety or the reliability of your vehicle.

Hmmm... Any chance either of these two things would be affected by the fact that I have a stage 2 kit from OTTP and a CAI?

Recalls are free. TSBs are NOT free by any means. TSBs are only a way to advise technicians of a fix for a common problem.

Take it in for the recall. Its a simple inspect/modify or replace the PS motor... I can't make heads or tails of that recall and I've yet to do one. I'd just take it in and get it handled.

OK, my valve cover gasket is leaking, so... anyone wanna recommend where to get one since it won't be fixed from the dealer?

any auto parts place should have a gasket.. and its really easy to do.. as long as you have proper tools.. itll save you some moolaah

I checked my local auto parts stores (advance, auto zone, etc.) and none of them had it in stock.

then order it in..... it only takes a couple hours for them to get in stock....

Per the Power Steering: Yes, it is a free fix. It is a voluntary recall. The fact that you got a letter means that your car is affected by the recall. You want to get it replaced before it becomes a problem.

As far as valve cover gasket:
