General Motors' joint venture in China, Shanghai GM, will recall about 4,000 imported Cadillac vehicles over fire risks, starting June 9, chinanews.com.cn reported, citing the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, to whom Shanghai GM filed the recall report.

The recall involves 4,199 vehicles: 1,032 Cadillac Escalades and 3,167 cars of the 2007-2009 Cadillac CTS model. The reason is that the unit that heats the windshield washer fluid could catch fire.

General Motors Co on Tuesday announced a recall of about 1.5 million trucks, crossovers and cars due to the same defect.

Shanghai GM will remove the unit that may catch fire, and customers can call 8008201902 for information and reservations.
