Bloomberg NewsA Chevrolet Cruze SW on display at the Geneva International Motor Show on March 7.

General Motors Co. said Friday it will recall 413,418 U.S. built Chevrolet Cruze sedans to modify a faulty part that could allow liquids to become trapped in the engine compartment and cause fires.
The company said no crashes, injuries or fatalities have been reported as a result of the problem. The Cruze is built and sold globally, but only those cars built in Lordstown, Ohio, and sold in the U.S. and Canada, and several hundred exported to Israel are affected.
"The most important thing for our customers to know is that we are proactively working to assure the Cruze is the safe and durable car they purchased," GM's vice president of global quality, Alicia Boler-Davis, said.
All Cruzes with manual and automatic transmissions built in the U.S. from September 2010 through May 2012 are included in the engine shield modification.
Federal regulators opened a preliminary investigation in April following two engine-compartment fires in Cruzes.
