The problem could cause the loss of transmission fluid and propulsion, the automaker said, while leaking fluid coming into contact with a hot exhaust could cause a fire.

GM will notify owners and dealers will inspect the start stop transmission accumulator and replace it if any bolts are missing, free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin on 14 December, 2020.
