Default Pentastar V6 Left Cylinder Head 10 Year Warranty!

FYI,

I received a letter today from DC stating my repaired left cylinder head has an extended warranty for 10 years. If you have not had it replaced and it fails you are covered for ten years from DOP and will be reimbursed if you paid for it yourself. Interesting that the right side cylinder head is not warranted the same, but the standard 5 year power train warranty.

My wife got the letter yesterday as well. Says to keep it in your glovebox so I guess that letter is the determining factor on whether or not your covered.

Default i got mine too

it does not say they will repair ticking 3.6 it pretty much says when it codes they will make repairs with head replacement
I guess its better than nothing but I kinda wish they just recall it and be done with it .

glad we got a letter though !

Update:

Well it looks like I'm gonna need to use this warranty as my Jeep has thrown the P0302 cylinder #2 misfire code three times in the last three weeks. I cleared it twice with my ProCal but the third time is enough. Dropped it off at Northpoint CDJ this morning since they did the first head swap at 10K miles in June 2012, so I got three years and 40K out of it.

If I'm not mistaken they replaced the head with the original style AA part number, which I wasn't happy about at the time but they claimed DC required it, I think due to demand at the time, we'll see what happens.

Default That sucks ! mine still hasnt thrown the code

im at 35,000 it still ticks as it always has . i hope it never throws the code to be honest . id hate to have the repair work done by some tech that may not be on the ball .

I still say Chrysler should have replaced the heads knowing they were all were made incorrectly to start out with those numbers on the heads and be done with it. instead of making us all wonder when ours will go , & having to listen to the ticking year after year of ownership.

After all we paid full price for their vehicle new . We should not have to have any concern or wonders of when it will go, just as those who bought or buy jeeps in 2014 -2015 or 2016

So...which year Pentastar does this cover? I have ticking in my 14 but attribute it to an exhaust leak -- that's where it "sounds" like it's coming from.
