    GM owners in the tri-state area should contact their area dealer for assistance.
    GM says there have been no reports of any fires or injuries at this point.

    Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, Oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537, and Pontiac at 1-800-620-7668 or visit the Pontiac or GM Web sites.
    GM spokesman Kerry Christopher says it was a precautionary measure for consumers.

    On March 30, the US government gave GM, which has received $13.4 billion in public aid, 60 days to come up with an aggressive restructuring plan to be eligible for further aid the company says it needs to avoid collapse.
