Make sure it's still under factory warranty (either new car, CPO or ELW) and you'll cover your bases. If it's out of warranty, a third party warranty probably isn't going to be sufficient if you encounter the head bolt issue. :\

thanks so much folks. looks like I have the old bolts unfortunately, but not a dealbreaker for me. I'm going to monitor my coolant for sure and knowing about the TSB is definitely a huge advantage already. Full original factory warranty until Aug 16 2014. Plus I'll likely extend.

has anyone attempted to guess what % of engines with the old bolts have had failures? And what does it take for a dealership to conduct the TSB work and replace the old bolts with the new? I know it may vary from dealer to dealer, but wondering what the best litmus test is to have them do the TSB work.
