And I'm not exactly sure how GM knew to mail the recall notice to me... I bought the car from a used dealer.

Being a GM parts manager, I don't think this recall was needed. ONLY IF someone works on the car, does NOT put the plug wires back in their proper place, it has to have an oil leak and the plug wire has to spark for this recall to occur.

again, if Tech is even half way decent, this will not happen.
