"Hyundai and Kia Recall 3.4M Vehicles for Fire Risks and Theft Concerns"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Hill
Hyundai and Kia have recalled nearly 3.4 million vehicles due to the risk of engine compartment fires caused by a potential electrical short. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) revealed that the anti-lock brake control module may leak fluid, leading to an electrical short and subsequent fire. Owners are advised to park their vehicles outside until the recall repair is complete. The recall affects multiple car and SUV models from 2010 to 2019, including Hyundai's Santa Fe and Kia's Sorrento. No crashes or injuries have been reported, and the companies have 60 days to notify owners of the recall.
