Hyundai and Kia Recall 3.37 Million CarsKia
  • Hyundai is recalling 1,642,551 cars because of an antilock brake module that can leak and cause a fire under the hood.

  • Kia is recalling 1,730,192 cars because a hydraulic electronic control unit (HECU) can experience an electrical short and cause a thermal event.

  • Both of these recalls affect products manufactured over the past decade.


If you own one of these 3.37 million Hyundai or Kia products, you might want to park it outside. Both Hyundai and Kia are recalling over 1.5 million cars a piece because of two different underhood fire risks.

Hyundai is recalling 1.6 million cars because the antilock brake module can leak fluid internally and cause an electrical short. Kia is recalling 1.7 million vehicles also because of an electrical short, but this time it’s caused by a possibly faulty hydraulic electronic control unit.
