GM recalls 1.5m cars due to fire risk

  • Wednesday, April 15 - 2009 at 09:02

GM said it is recalling 1.5 million vehicles which have a condition in which drops of engine oil may be deposited on the exhaust manifold under hard braking. NHTSA said that this could start a small fire that could spread to a plastic spark plug wire channel and beyond, increasing the risk of an engine compartment fire. GM dealers will remove the plastic spark plug retention channel and install two new spark plug wire retainers free of charge. Models being recalled are 1997-2003 Buick Regal; 1998-2003 Chevrolet Lumina, Monte Carlo and Impala; 1998-99 Oldsmobile Intrigue; and 1997-2003 Pontiac Grand Prix.
