"General Motors Co. is recalling more than 400,000 Chevrolet Cruzes for two problems that can cause engine fires.
GM is recalling 413,148 model year 2011 and 2012 Chevrolet Cruze vehicles manufactured between Oct. 2, 2009 and May 31, 2012. Spilled or dripping oil (such as after an oil change) may collect in the engine shield (bellypan) near hot engine or exhaust system surfaces. As a result, the oil and the engine shield may ignite and burn.
Either condition could result in an engine compartment fire, possibly causing injury or death.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will modify the engine shield to prevent fluid from contacting the shield. Also, on vehicles with a manual transmission, dealers will apply a protective tape to the electronic power steering wire harness. Repairs will be performed free of charge to the owner. The safety recall is expected to begin on, or about, July 11." [Read more]
