According to reports, Kia and Hyundai will shortly contact owners about a slew of recalls affecting over 3.37 million vehicles.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the United States has admitted that the anti-lock braking system (ABS) control module in some Kia and Hyundai vehicles might leak fluid and cause an electrical fire, according to AP News.

The problem might occur whether the automobile is stationary or moving. As a result, impacted car owners are urged to park their vehicles away from structures until the problem is resolved.

According to the magazine, both firms have issued different comments on the matter. Hyundai accepted 43 reports of fires or parts melting as a consequence of “thermal incidents.” Meanwhile, Kia responded to 10 reported cases of fire/part melting.

It’s worth noting that both firms have apparently informed customers that no collisions or injuries have been recorded as a result of the glitch.
