General Motors Co. (GM) will recall 27,051 Spark mini cars in South Korea over a defective gearbox mount, Reuters reported Friday, citing a Ministry of Land, Information and Transport statement. The mount may destabilize and cause a loss of transmission power, the ministry said.

There have been no reports of crashes or injuries due to the defect, a GM Korea spokesman was quoted as saying.

Cars exported to the U.S. will not be affected by the recall, the spokesman said, and the company is reviewing whether to take "proper action" in other markets such as Europe where the car is sold.
