WASHINGTON (AP) _ Porsche is recalling its Cayenne sport utility vehicle because the springs on its parking brake can rub against other wires and cause a fire in the vehicle's instrument panel, the federal safety officials said Thursday.

The recall affects 10,637 Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo vehicles from the 2003 and 2004 model years, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said. Porsche didn't report any injuries from the defect.

The company also is recalling 1,805 of its 911 sports cars from the 2004 model year because oil isn't getting to the internal gears due to a part defect, NHTSA said.
