Kia, Hyundai Recall 3.3 Million Vehicles Due To Fire Risk
Kia and Hyundai are recalling 3.3 million vehicles over a fire risk and urging owners to park outside in the meantime.
An issue with the antilock brake system can cause the vehicles to catch fire while parked or while driving. According to ABC Action News, the recalls cover multiple car and SUV models from the 2010 through 2019 model years, including some of the most popular vehicles made by the carmaker, like Hyundai’s Santa Fe SUV and Kia’s Sorrento SUV.
Affected models include the Kia Optima and Soul sedans and Sportage SUV, and the Hyundai Accent, Azera, Elantra, Genesis Coupe, Sonata, and Tucson SUV. Model years range from 2010-2019. 21 fires and 22 ‘thermal incidents’ have been reported so far.
Dealers will replace the anti-lock brake fuse at no cost to owners. Kia says in documents that it will send notification letters to owners starting Nov. 14. For Hyundai, the date is Nov. 21.
