DETROIT — Subaru is recalling nearly 634,000 cars and SUVs in the United States because lights under doors can overheat and catch fire.

The recall affects all Outback and Legacy cars from model years 2010 and 2011; Tribeca SUVs from 2006 through 2012; and Forester SUVs from 2009 through 2012. Subaru says the Tribecas and Foresters were sold before January 2012.
