GM to recall 1.5 million cars

Having recently been told by the government to prepare for a June 1st bankruptcy filing, GM has yet another problem on their hands. Recently issuing a recall for a staggering 1.5 million vehicles that deals with the engine possibly lighting on fire, the future looks grim for GM.

Apparently in late 90’s and early 00 model cars fittedwith a 3.8 liter V6 there is a chance that oil could be leaked into the exhaust manifold upon hard breaking. And with oil on the exhaust manifold comes the possibility of a spark that could spreak 

Some of these engines may leak engine oil that could end up on the exhaust manifold during hard breaking. If the manifold becomes hot enough, it could cause a fire to start which could then spreak to the spark plug wire channel which would cause all sorts of a mess.

GM is telling owners of these cars to bring them to the dealer immediately where they will be fitted with 2 spark plug wire retainers for free effectively squashing the problem.
