Chevrolet Recall 12081: Oil Spilling Or Dripping/Engine Compartment Fire
2011 Chevrolet Cruze
Either condition could result in an engine compartment fire, possibly causing injury or death.
Engine And Engine Cooling
- Summary
- General Motors (GM) is recalling certain model year 2011 and 2012 Chevrolet Cruze vehicles manufactured from October 2, 2009, through 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.
- Actions
- 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 began on July 10, 2012. Owners may contact the Chevrolet owner center at 1-866-694-6546.
