GM, Ford Recalling Cars: General Motors recalled about 196,000 1982-86 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird and 1984-86 Pontiac Fiero cars with manual transmissions and disc brakes. GM said a faulty part in the rear brake assembly could cause the parking brake to slip. About 112,000 ’91 four-door Chevrolet Blazer, GMC Jimmy and Oldsmobile Bravada sport-utility vehicles were recalled because of a potential fuel-system seal problem. Ford said 6,425 ‘91-model Ford Crown Victoria, Thunderbird, Mustang, Mercury Grand Marquis and Cougar cars were recalled to check a part in their automatic transmissions that may prevent drivers from shifting the transmission into “park.” Ford also recalled 5,400 Probe GT cars with automatic transmissions to inspect a transmission oil cooler.
