Kia, Hyundai recall 3.37m US vehicles over fire risks

WASHINGTON, Sept 27 (Reuters): Hyundai and Kia are recalling a combined 3.37 million vehicles in the United States due to the risk of engine fires, telling owners to park outside and away from structures until repairs are complete.

The automakers say brake fluid leaks can cause a short that could lead to a fire.

Hyundai said it has reports of 21 fires and 21 other thermal incidents since 2017 related to the recall, while Kia has reports of at least 10 confirmed fires and melting incidents.
