GM recalls Saturn carsto correct engine problem
DETROIT -- General Motors Corp. is recalling about 254,000 model year 2000-03 Saturn L-Series cars to correct an engine problem that has led to fires.
Of the cars, which are equipped with 2.2-liter engines, about 240,000 of the vehicles are in the United States and about 14,000 are in Canada, the world's No. 1 automaker said Tuesday.
GM will replace the ignition module and spark plugs. The company plans to begin notifying owners of the vehicles next month and instruct them to bring the cars to Saturn dealers.
Also, on 2002-03 models, GM said mechanics will reprogram the powertrain control module. The repairs will be done at no charge to the customer.
Some of these vehicles may misfire, which could lead to failures in the exhaust system. If the initial condition is not fixed and the vehicle continues to be driven, there could be further damage to the brakes, fuel system or other components.
