General Motors is issuing out a recall on thousands of vehicles due to a leak hazard that can cause fires.

About the General Motors Recall

According to Fox Business, at least 217,000 cars and SUVs across America and Canada are facing recalls for a potential dangerous defect.

Recall notices suggest vehicles are prone to transmission oil leaks which can cause vehicle stalls and possibly cause the vehicles to catch fire.

Manufacturers at GM are accusing two missing bolts from the vehicle as the source of the defect. This issue can be fixed at local dealers. No reports of consumer injuries have been released.
