I have an appointment for an oil pan gasket replacement next month at my independent shop. Is there any chance a bolt could be sheared off and exhibit no symptoms? My VC was off a few months ago for an ESS replacement by the same shop and they didn't say anything about the bolts. Hate to pay for the OPG replacement if there are broken bolt heads, and the dealer would take care of the replacement under the recall.

Know this isn't that common of a failure, but also would suck if the bolts break after doing the OPG and before having the recall addressed.

Valve cover gaskets shouldn't ever be reused, so they better be replacing that.
