Has anyone else had to have the entire head replaced? I smell recall.

The latest information I got from my Service Tech isas follows.
Now Ididn't go back and read 11+ pages of posts so if I am repeating something, then so be it.

There is a range of Vin #'s that MAY be affected. The Heads that become affected will show a check engine light and act like they misfired.

The dealer service according to GM Warranty service must reset the PCM, nd drive the vehicle again to reproduce the original code, and problem. Then if it occurs, they will proceed to the next step which is to begin head replacement.

My truck, I'm told falls within this range, built in March 2006. I asked why we can't just replace the head, and the answer was that not every truck will havethe problem. ???
Okay, so I am keeping my fingers crossed. There apparantly is something that wasn't perfect in the machining of the head. Now who knows how many pieces of equipment machine these heads. and maybe it was one machine wit hbad tooling. I don't know but it certainly is unsettling.

Agreed, and I've looked and even called Gm and Hummer about it and requested the 100K mile power-train warranty that was offered on 2007 and above.
They said they would make a record of my issue in the system.
I asked them if that meant that I would get the extended coverage should my truck's cylinder head fail past the 4 year 50K mile warranty. They said NO.
I asked them why make a note then? You're not covering it anyway?

Well, from here, I requested a supervisor who told me there was nothing he could do. What the ...!

Clearly a major problem exists that affects the Cylinder head of the truck's motor, and GM is aware of it, but since there has been no official bulletin released on it, they will do nothing.
