vehicle age is just as critical as the mileage, have you ever done a coolant flush or atleast a drain and refill? Dexcool only has a lifespan of 5yrs after that it starts breaking down and can cause electrolysis or in some systems become acidic which can definitely cause a heater core leak. Recalls have very little to do with complaints they are normally only for safety issues or potential safety issues that GM has become aware of.

There is no recall or special coverage campaign for the heater core. How was it confirmed that the heater core is bad?
