Volvo recalls 'flaming' cars

Volvo is recalling 65,000 cars in the US because the seat heaters could short circuit and catch fire.

The recall involves 1996 models of the Volvo 854 and 855 equipped with seat heaters.

Excessive compression of the seat cushion could damage the electrical wiring of the seat heater and cause a short, said the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
