General Motors has issued a voluntary safety recall of nearly 15,000 Chevrolet Malibu sedans in the U.S. due to faulty wiring that could pose a possible fire threat.

General Motors has cited a potential fire threat in its Chevrolet Malibu sedans from model year 2013 due to faulty wiring. GM is recalling about 15,000 Malibu sedans equipped with eight-way power front seat and passenger seat option in the United States. According to the car maker, the wiring harness may wear against the frame, resulting in "sparking, flickering lights, melted wiring, smoke or a fire."

General Motors said that it has recorded two incidents of fire in unattended vehicles but has no reports of injuries or crashes related to the condition.

Dealers will contact affected car owner via first class mail and repair the faulty wiring, if necessary, at no cost. According to Reuters, 14,909 vehicles are registered to owners in the United States, 13 in Canada and seven in Mexico.

On the other hand, GM also announced  Friday that it is issuing another recall involving 44,406 Malibus from model year 2014, as they are suspected to have malfunctioning heating, ventilation and air conditioning, or HVAC, controls. If the defroster doesn't work, then drivers may not have a clear windshield, affecting their view on the road.

In August, General Motors had recalled 293,000 Chevrolet Cruze compact sedan cars manufactured between 2011 and 2012 over faulty brake systems. Prior to that GM had recalled 231,000 SUVs, a follow-up from previous year's recall of 249,000 SUVs, due to a possible electrical short in the driver's door that could have resulted in fire.
