More than 60,000 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars are being recalled by General Motors over a risk of engine fire.

GM says more than 500,000 vehicles have been called back world-wide.

The company says fires could ignite when fluids drip onto a plastic below the engine.

They say about 30 incidents of fire have been reported, but no one has been injured.

The recall covers 2011 and 2012 models that were produced at a plant in Lordstown, Ohio between September 2010 and May 2012.
