WASHINGTON - Kia Motors Corp and affiliate Hyundai Motor Co said on Thursday they are recalling around 534,000 additional U.S. vehicles at risk of engine fires.

In November 2018, Reuters reported that federal prosecutors had launched a criminal investigation into Hyundai and Kia to determine if vehicle recalls linked to engine defects were conducted properly. The companies have declined to comment on the probe. Reuters reported in January that the companies would offer software upgrades for 3.7 million vehicles not being recalled. The automakers said the software update aims to protect the vehicles from internal damage, and they will also offer new extended warranties for engine issues.
