Hyundai and Kia recall over 3.3 million vehicles, including 600,000 in Canada, to correct a problem that can potentially lead to a fire. Auto123.
Hyundai and Kia are recalling more than 3.3 million vehicles due to a potential fire risk. The Hyundai Auto Group are asking that owners of affected vehicles park them outdoors and away from structures until the problem is fixed.
In Canada, more than 600,000 vehicles are affected by the recall, including 326,942 Hyundai vehicles and 276,225 Kia vehicles. “On certain vehicles, brake fluid could leak into the control module for the antilock brake system and cause it to short circuit. A short circuit could create a fire risk, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off.”
Hyundai says owners can continue to drive their vehicles, and that it is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the problem. To date, Hyundai says it is aware of 21 vehicle fires and 22 “thermal incidents” in the United States. Kia has also reported 10 cases of fire and melting. 2011 Kia Sportage Photo: Kia At Kia, the following models are impacted:
