General Motors will recall 14,245 Cadillac DTS and Buick Lucerne cars with V8 engines because of a potential problem with the starter and alternator cables that can cause fires.
The cables can come into contact with the power steering return line, GM said in a statement. This can lead to a leak in power-steering fluid, battery drain and a hole in the line.
If the power steering fluid comes into contact with hot metal in the engine, this could cause a fire.
There have been four fires reported but no injuries GM said.
The cars affected are from the 2010 and 2011 model years.
