This year, many automakers such as Tesla and Mercedes recalled thousands of their cars. Lastly, South Korean Hyundai and Kia joined the list. Hyundai and Kia have recalled their SUV models Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride, which were produced between 2020 and 2022. Brands urged car owners not to park their vehicles close to buildings until they return their vehicles.
The production year of the problematic vehicles is unknown
The problem that arises in Hyundai and Kia SUVs is found in the traction parts of the vehicles. All vehicles manufactured between 2020 and 2022 are being recalled, as it is not known exactly in which year vehicles were problematic.
Keep away from buildings
According to reports from brands to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the circuit board, which is part of the traction drive, has a moisture problem that can cause a short circuit, which poses a major fire risk. The fire reports that started in 2021 for the vehicles in question triggered this recall process.
Brands have not yet found a solution, but it is stated that a solution to the problem will emerge as the recall process progresses. During this period, owners of the cars involved are advised not to park near buildings in order not to spread if a fire breaks out.
