Hyundai and Kia Recall Over 240,000 Vehicles for Safety Concerns

Hyundai and Kia have issued a recall for more than 240,000 vehicles, including the popular Hyundai Genesis and various Kia models, due to safety concerns that could lead to engine fires. The recall affects models produced between 2010 and 2015, with the primary issue stemming from a potential short circuit in the anti-lock brake system that could increase the risk of a fire, even when the vehicle is turned off. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has urged owners to park their vehicles outside and away from structures until repairs can be made. Hyundai and Kia are in the process of notifying affected owners, who will be able to take their vehicles to dealerships for a free inspection and necessary repairs. This recall is part of a broader trend in the automotive industry, where manufacturers are increasingly prioritizing safety and addressing potential hazards proactively. For more information, affected owners can visit the NHTSA website or contact their local dealerships. Sources: https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls, https://www.hyundaiusa.com, https://www.kia.com
