Ford Ireland is recalling two of its models due fears a fault could result in starting a fire.
The car company's Ka and Figo models made between September 2017 and May 2019 are affected by the warning.
The incorrectly routed wiring of the vehicles' batteries could lead to wire chafing which may cause fires.
Ford say 243 cars in Ireland are subject to the caution.
A statement from the Consumer and Competition Protection Commission said: "There is a risk of the un-fused Battery Monitoring System (BMS) wire chafing, as a result of an incorrectly routed wire to the vehicles battery.
"If the wire is routed incorrectly, this could lead to a pinch condition under the battery metal bracket, which may lead to a short circuit, which could result in a fire.
"The vehicles in question were manufactured between 08/09/2017 and 15/05/2019."
Ford Ireland are to contact owners of affected vehicles directly to advise of further steps. Ford Customer Care can be contacted on 1800 771199.
