The Chevy Equinox had a recall due to a common issue where the Exhaust manifold could crack near the O2 sensor, causing exhaust to leak through the HVAC system. You can have the problem fixed at the dealership if your model qualifies for the repair. If not, you'll need to replace it yourself or seek help from a service mechanic. The cost of a new exhaust manifold can range from $75 to $150 depending on the quality and brand. Taking it to an auto service shop for the replacement may cost between $400 and $600, including parts and labor.

I own a 2016 Chevrolet Equinox that's been around for 6 years now. It has a cracked manifold and a noisy resonator. I'm wondering if there's a recall on these parts because a mechanic mentioned it's a common issue with most Chevys. I'm disappointed because I've been a loyal General Motors customer for 50 years, and now I can't find a replacement vehicle even though I planned on getting one in 5 years.

There haven't been any exhaust manifold recalls for Chevy Equinox vehicles. However, certain years like 2011-2012 might have catalytic converter recalls. The manifolds can crack due to issues like advanced camshaft timing, which leads to high exhaust temperatures. This can be caused by a loose timing chain resulting from a broken guide or chain tensioner failure, often due to lack of oil/lubrication. The 2.4L engine tends to consume oil, especially in models from around 2010 to 2014 due to low tension piston rings. Nowadays, many people don't regularly check their oil levels, and combined with unreliable oil life monitoring systems, it's easy to run out of oil before realizing it needs changing.
