In latest recall, Hyundai and Kia ask owners of 3.3 million vehicles to park outside due to risk of fire

(CNN) — Owners of about 3.3 million Hyundai and Kia cars and SUVs in the United States should avoid parking in or near structures because the vehicles could suddenly catch fire – whether they’re being driven or not, according to an announcement Wednesday from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The recall is just the latest in a long and frequent series of fire-related recalls of Hyundai and Kia vehicles in the past few years for a variety of reasons.

The vehicles addressed in this particular recall could develop an internal fluid leak in the anti-lock brake module. This could result in a short circuit leading to overheating and, possibly, a fire, according to the NHTSA.

  1. Outside, where Baltimore and DC Hyundais and Kias are the subjects of frequent borrowing. It’s just a matter of time before insurance companies jack the rates up on those vehicles to cover the losses.

  2. Who’s going to drop the race bomb first?
    Both brands are favored by a certain demographic group and the subgroup that preys on the rest (and everybody else). Are the manufacturers cutting corners on safety and security in favor of “affordability” and style?
