"General Motors Corp. is recalling 1.5 million vehicles in the U.S. to fix a glitch in an engine component that may cause oil to leak and lead to a fire.
The move includes certain Buick, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile and Pontiac cars from model years 1997 to 2003, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on its Web site.
Oil could drop on the exhaust manifold, posing a risk of engine fire. The recall for Detroit-based GM will begin in May, the agency said.
The recall affects Buick Regals from model years 1997 to 2003; Chevrolet vehicles including 1998 and 1999 Luminas, 1998- to-2003 Monte Carlos and Impalas from model years 2000 to 2003; the 1998 and 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue; and some Pontiac Grand Prix cars from model years 1997 to 2003."
The car I wrecked about 18 months ago is on there, and my current vehicle may be recalled as well (a Grand Prix from model years 1997-2003). The recall didn't affect my car wreck, but my MIL was the one to inform me about it, so I'm posting it incase you're like me, just finding out your vehicle is or may be recalled. I got this car f/my mechanic, who drove it off the showroom floor, so I'll be speaking to him next week to find out more info about it. I never really liked the car, so if it is, maybe I can get a car I actually like. I can't complain, my mom did buy it for me.
I'll end with something off-topic here, there's a show on tv right now, it's American Gladiators but w/kids, and guess who's one of the hosts: Ryan Seacrest (American Idol host)! I recognize the voice now, but the hair! lmao!
