    Hyundai, Kia warn owners to park outside over fire risk | Autoindustriya

    Hyundai and Kia have announced that they will recall nearly 500,000 vehicles in the United States as they could spontaneously combust. The automakers advise owners to park their vehicles outside, away from other vehicles and other structures until they're fixed. That’s because these could still catch fire even with the engine turned off.
    certain models of the 2014-2016 Sportage and 2016-2019 K900 are affected
    Hyundais could suffer from anti-lock brake malfunction, causing a short circuit and leading to a fire. It’s a similar issue with Kia and its Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU) which could short circuit and start a fire.
    Do note that the recall is specifically for the US market only. However, the affected vehicles are also sold in other markets around the world, including the Philippines. There has been no advisory from Hyundai or Kia in other markets yet
