Hyundai and Kia Recall Millions of Vehicles Due to Fire Risk

Despite the recall, most vehicles remain unrepaired and on the road, with repairs not expected until June or later.

In September, Hyundai and Kia recalled 3.4 million vehicles in the U.S. due to a risk of catching fire, advising owners to park them outdoors.
Six months after the recall, the majority of these vehicles remain unrepaired, posing a danger to owners and the public.
The delay in repairs is attributed to the difficulty in obtaining parts needed to fix the defect, with most repairs not expected until June or later.
Over 500 owners have filed complaints about the slow repair process, and there have been reports of engine compartment fires while awaiting repairs.
Safety advocates criticize the delay and the decision to allow the vehicles to be driven despite the known fire risk.
