GM Recall

WWJ Newsroom Reporting

Detroit (WWJ) -- General Motors said Friday it would recall more than 207,000 Buick Regal and Pontiac Grand Prix sedans because they can develop oil leaks that can cause fires.

GM said the recall affects 1997 to 2003 Buick Regal GS and Grand Prix GTP models with 3.8-liter supercharged V-6 engines.

The automaker is concerned that oil could leak onto the exhaust manifold if a driver brakes hard. If the oil gets hot enough it can catch fire. Six injuries and 267 fires have been reported.

GM says the cars are safe to drive, but drivers should not park them in garages or carports.
