"A transmission oil leak in the presence of an ignition source may increase the risk of fire."Assembly-line software errors "may have allowed start-stop accumulators to be released from the supplier's automated bolt torque station without two required bolts," the company added.Owners of the affected vehicles can contact dealers, starting Dec. 14, to inspect the cars to see if repairs are needed, GM said.&nbsp;&nbsp;/
