General Motors Corporation is recalling almost 2,08,000 Buick Regal and Pontiac Grand Prix sedans because of oil leaks that may lead to engine fires.

The recall covers 3.8-liter, supercharged V6 versions of the vehicles from the 1997 through 2003 model years. Oil droplets can collect on the exhaust manifold due to hard braking, and may catch fire after the engine is shut off, GM spokeswoman Carolyn Markey said on Friday in an interview.

Motorists shouldn’t park the cars in garages or carports until the vehicles are fixed, Detroit-based GM said. There have been 267 related fires, 17 of which led to property damage and six that caused injuries. The company said it’s still safe to drive the sedans.

Owners won’t be charged for the recall, said Markey, who declined to say what the cost will be to GM. She said the automaker is working to obtain sufficient replacement parts for the recall and owners should use high-octane fuel in their vehicles in the interim. GM has already begun notifying owners of the recall and will issue another notice when all the parts are available, pointed out the GM spokeswoman.
