My BRZ is and has been at the stealership for 13 days, they called me at the week mark to let me know they'd need to keep it longer due to how busy they got. I just got a call from the service manager... "The technician doing your valve spring recall found a couple anomalies. #1 your serpentine belt is cracked and #2 your cam carriers are leaking oil"
The belt I get, I got the car in June 2012 and it's never been replaced, vehicle has over 40,755 miles. Cam carriers, honestly never heard of them before today but a cursory Google search tells me they are a frame/gasket.
I authorized them to replace both along with doing the spark plugs, in total the 'recall' is slated to run me $650 before any discounts (in my experience, they like to drop a 10% discount at the end so you feel like they're doing you a favor). What'd you guys know about cam carriers? What're your thoughts on this?
