Quick answer

Valve Cover Gasket If you are experiencing a right valve cover leak and plan on replacing only the gasket, the customer may later return for an oil leak. Engineering has updated the skirt height of the valve cover to address oil leaks. Replace the valve cover (part # 04893800AI includes valve cover gasket) to ensure proper repair. Please call FCA Redacted Content if further questions or help is needed with parts retention returns on valve cover assemblies

What this bulletin may mean before buying

Treat this as service research, not a verdict on one car. Before you buy, compare this communication with official recall campaigns, model-level owner complaint patterns, and the exact vehicle’s VIN-decoded specifications. A bulletin can help you ask a seller or dealer sharper questions about software updates, known repairs, warranty extensions and service history.

No. A recall is a safety campaign with a required remedy for affected VINs. A service bulletin or manufacturer communication usually describes diagnostic, repair, software, warranty or service information.

How should a used-car buyer use this bulletin?

Use it as a research signal. Compare it with recalls, owner complaints, service records, a VIN report and an independent inspection before buying.
