Default My '06 H3 VIN # Is Within Range for Head/Valve Problems....

Should I be concerned? I have had 21,000 relatively trouble free miles on my H3 thus far. I am down to my final year of warranty. Is there anything I should be concerned about or do? I did check my vin # and confirmed that it is in the range of vin #s that could have potential head and valve issues. Thanks for any advice.

The heads would be a concern but the Hummer won't do anything until a problem arises.

I'm in the same boat you are, however my 06' H3 has 43k on it with the original head and I never had a problem. My warranty is up in September so thats when it will break! Remember not all of them have this trouble.

Hello,
my '06 H3 has 110k miles on the odometer and still no troubles. Had a misfire-code last winter, but it where only loose bolts on the intake manifold. After fixing the bolts, the missfire code is away and the hummer runs quite nice.

Greets,
Jens

I'm glad mine did happen, Better that than have to wonder if it's going to 10 miles out of warranty.

I thought we have a 50k warranty on drive train, at any rate my 2006 is in this same boat at – 52k I read about it at 30k and started using synthetic oil, I have had no problems and keeping my fingers crossed.

Would one of you be kind enough to share where I can find if my VIN # is part of the possible faulty units?

Appreciate the effort. However, think you might have misread that last question. I'm asking where I can find if my VIN # is part of the faulty pack. I know where the VIN # is located. Just don't know if mine could be one of the faulty ones.

You must do to your dealer because you have warranty of it and tell him to solve it fairly its better for you or sale it out. Thanks for sharing.
