“GM has determined that these vehicles may have a transmission oil cooler line that is not securely seated in its fitting. If the line is not securely seated and transmission oil leaks from the fitting, the oil could contact a hot surface and result in a vehicle fire. GM is aware of three incidents and no injuries,” the automaker said in an emailed statement.
GM dealers will inspect the fittings for leaks. First owner letters should go out in the week of 28 April, 2014.
