Hyundai and Kia are recalling nearly 3.4 million vehicles in the U.S. and telling owners to park them outside due to the risk of engine compartment fires.

The recalls cover multiple car and SUV models from the 2010 through 2019 model years including Hyundai’s Santa Fe SUV and Kia’s Sorrento SUV.

Documents posted Wednesday by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration say the anti-lock brake control module can leak fluid and cause an electrical short, which can touch off a fire while the vehicles are parked or being driven.

Sending this to all my relatives that send me every instance of a Tesla catching on fire as some sort of gotcha that I bought a lib car haha.

Is a Tesla still a lib car?

If you live in the Bay Area nah, it’s basically a Corolla equivalent; if you live where some of my family does it apparently is still, even though they love Musk now.

The only thing worse than buying a tesla is buying an even cheaper POS made by actual literal child labor
