PT Cruiser recall in USA - henry k
"Auburn Hills, Michigan-AP) -- DaimlerChrysler is recalling more than 438,000 PT Cruisers because of a flaw that can cause a fire under the hood. A DaimlerChrysler spokeswoman says there have been nine reports of fires but no injuries or deaths. The recall covers P-T Cruisers from model years 2001 to 2005.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that a high-pressure power steering hose can loosen and come into contact with other parts of the vehicle. If the hose is punctured and power steering fuel leaks out, a fire can start."

Also reported on CBS News.
