Hyundai, Kia Recall 3 Million Cars In US Over Fire Risk

The vehicles in question include 1.64 million from Hyundai and Genesis, concerning 2010 to 2015 models, and 1.73 million Kias, ranging from 2010 to 2017.

South Korean car manufacturers Hyundai and Kia are issuing recalls for 3.3 million vehicles in the United States due to their risk of suddenly catching fire, regulators announced Wednesday.

"Until these recalled vehicles have been repaired... the safest place to park them is outside and away from homes and other structures," the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in a statement.

"Fires can occur whether the vehicle is parked and turned off or while driving."
