GM Recalling 1.5 Million Vehicles

General Motors is recalling 1.5 million vehicles due to risk of engine fires. There have been no reports of any fires or injuries but GM says it is taking a precautionary measure for consumers. Some of the recalled vehicles are no longer in production. The recall includes the 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue, the 1997-2003 Pontiac Grand Prix, 1997-2003 Buick Regal, and the 1998-2003 Chevrolet Lumina, Monte Carlo and Impala.

The recall involves vehicles with a 3.8-liter V6 engine. The government says drops of oil could fall into the exhaust system and cause a fire in the engine. I wonder how this recall will help GM, when they are already in the lookout for a bailout by the U.S government.
