GM Recalls 200,000 Sedans Over Fire Risk

This is really scary as the problem has caused 267 vehicle fires and six injuries. It also caused 17 fires in structures so General Motors Corp is recalling 207,542 Buick Regal and Pontiac Grand Prix sedans over the risk they could catch fire. They warned their owners not to park the cars in garages until they are fixed. GM said Friday it is recalling the l997-2003 Buick Regal GS and Grand Prix GTP models with 3.8 liter supercharged V-6 engines. What could happen is that during hard braking, drops of oil can leak from the engine onto the exhaust manifold and fires can start if the oil gets hot enough. So if you have one and haven't heard from them, it would be a very good idea to get your car into the garage as quick as you can.
