Buick GM Recalls 2010-2011 Cadillac DTS and Buick Lucerne Over Possible Fire Risk

[Bartek S.]

If you happen to be one of the 13,780 owners of a 2010-2011 Cadillac DTS or Buick Lucerne sedan with a V8 engine, you'll soon receive a recall letter from General Motors. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration [NHTSA], the aforementioned sedan models have alternator cables that can wear through a power steering line causing a fluid leak. The power steering leak could result in a loss of power steering as well as fall onto hot engine parts and cause an engine compartment fire.
Up until now, there have been two reports of fires in late August related to this problem.
To fix this issue, GM said dealers will secure and if necessary, reroute the lines to prevent contact. As expected, the service will be performed free of charge. The Detroit automaker will begin mailing letters to owners of the affected models on November 19.

Wow...GM still produces these junk-barges? They should be embarrased for having to indirectly let people know they still make these antiques.
