General Motors is recalling more than 800,000 vehicles because of a power-steering defect
that may have led to at least eight injuries.
The recalled models are the 1996 Buick Regal,
1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, 1997-98 Oldsmobile Cutlass, Chevrolet Lumina, Monte Carlo,
Malibu, and 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue cars. In addition, some 1996 Pontiac Grand Prix and
Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, and 1997-98 Buick Regal cars are being recalled.
Drivers have
experienced intermittent losses of power steering when making left turns, especially at low
speeds, GM said.
