Oct 27 (Reuters) - General Motors Co (N:GM) GM.N said it is
recalling about 1.3 million older sedans and coupes in the
United States to fix oil leakages that pose a fire hazard.
The company said drops of oil may be deposited on the hot
exhaust manifold through hard braking, possibly leading to
engine compartment fires.
The recall affects cars from 1997 to 2004 model years, GM
said, adding that it was aware of post-repair fires in some
vehicles but no crashes or fatalities.
The company said 19 minor injuries related to the oil
leakage had been reported in the last six years.
GM said it has reports of 1,345 fires in vehicles that were
repaired under two previous recalls for the same issue.
Affected models are 1997-2004 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2000-2004
Chevrolet Impala, 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina and 1998-2004
Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue and
1997-2004 Buick Regal.
Including Canada, Mexico and "exports", the total number of
affected vehicles is about 1.4 million, GM said.
GM's shares were down 2.2 percent at $34.89 in morning trade
on Tuesday.
