Transport Canada recalled various vehicles over the last week, including Kia, Toyota, Volkswagen and Porsche cars.
Here's a look at what's affected:
Transport Canada issued a recall on June 20 for various Kia models due to the brake system, which could short circuit and cause a fire. The department said nearly 280,000 vehicles are impacted.
Models include Kia Fortes, Optimas, Souls, Sportages and seven other varieties from 2010 through 2017.
The recall said the brake hydraulic electronic control unit could short-circuit and cause a fire while the vehicle is parked and turned off.
Kia recommends that drivers park their vehicles outdoors, away from other cars or buildings, until the recall repairs are done.
Toyota

While Canada is well known for its accomplishments in space — including building the robotic arms used on the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station — the country still has no ability to launch its own satellites. This week, Ottawa committed nearly a quarter‑billion dollars towards changing that.

It’s an enduring stereotype that Canadians are unfailingly nice, quick to apologize even when they have done nothing wrong. But an online urban legend claims the opposite of Canada’s soldiers, painting a picture of troops so brazen in their brutality that international laws were rewritten to rein them in.
