The positive crankcase ventilation system caused my Camm to leak and created a vacuum leak which blew out the seals of my vehicle. Upon further investigation I found that GM was involved in a class action lawsuit for the 2016 models and that an extended warranty was given for 2016 -2019 Cascada models.
