Hyundai and Kia recall nearly 3.4 million vehicles due to fire risk and urge owners to park outdoors
apnews.com
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.
I assume they are anticipating that the car will be stolen so the insurance company has to pay instead of the auto manufacturers.
Imaging stealing a car that is likely to burn itself up.
Fire destroys evidence, win-win!
It seems like I see an article like this every other week for Hyundai and Kia.
But make sure to remove both front, or rear, wheels, so it doesn't get stolen by a 12 year old with an iPhone charging cable.
The article says that the Genesis Coupe is included in the recall, but it doesn't specify the years like they did with the other models. So I assumed that meant that every year model is affected but I just checked my VIN and it says 0 recalls found.
Edit: Car is a 2010
Those cars are fire 🔥🚒🚒🚒🔥
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.
Neolib? Definitely. Leftist? Only if you really don't pay attention, I guess.
Musk is a chud, not any form of liberal
My metro card never catches fire
If you buy good batteries neither does the ebike.
The only thing worse than buying a tesla is buying an even cheaper POS made by actual literal child labor
