GM Recalls 1.5 Million Vehicles Over Fire Risk
Melinda Parks alerted us through twitter that GM has recalled vehicles due to a fire risk.
Here is a list of the vehicles:
The GM recall applies to the following vehicles, all of which have 3.8 liter V-6 engines: Buick Regal (1997-2003 models); Chevrolet Lumina (1998-2003 models), Monte Carlo (1998-2003 models) and Impala (1998-2003 models); Oldsmobile Intrigue (1998-99 models); and Pontiac Grand Prix (1997-2003 models).
If you have one of these vehicles then according to the article at Findlaw this is what will happen:
The recall is expected to begin in May, when owners of affected vehicles will be notified and dealers will begin making a free repair -- installation of new spark plug wire retainers -- that should remedy the problem. In the meantime, vehicle owners can contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, Oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537, and Pontiac at 1-800-620-7668, or visit the GM website: http:www.gmownercenter.com.
Be safe and we'll keep you posted as we learn more.
