The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced a recall for 2010 and 2011 model year <a href="http://autoblog.com/tag/lucerne">Buick Lucerne</a> and <a href="http://autoblog.com/tag/dts">Cadillac DTS</a> models. A total of 13,780 vehicles, all equipped with V8 engines, are subject to this recall which effects power steering return lines.<br />
<br />
According to NHTSA, the starter or alternator cable can wear through these lines, causing a power steering fluid leak. This can not only result in the loss of power steering, but the liquid could drip onto hot engine parts, resulting in a fire.<br />
<br />
Owners can bring their cars to <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/gm">General Motors</a> dealers to have the problem fixed free of charge. Technicians will either secure or reroute the power steering return lines in order to prevent contact with these cables. The recall is expected to begin later this month, and the full details are available at NHTSA's website.<br />
