Fire risk concerns prompt Hyundai to recall 1.6 Million vehicles in the U.S.
Hyundai Motor will recall more than 1.6 million vehicles in the US, due to the potential fire risk. Since 2017, Hyundai vehicles have been involved in 21 car fires and 22 overheating incidents in the United States.
According to the information, on September 22, Hyundai recalled 1,642,551 vehicles in the United States, with an estimated defect percentage of 1%.
Hyundai said owners of affected cars can continue to drive them, but they should park their vehicles outside and away from buildings until the problem is resolved. The remedy is to use a new ABS module fuse to provide a smaller operating current to the module.
The manufacturer further says the owners of affected vehicles will be reimbursed for out-of-pocket costs to obtain remedies for the recall conditions in accordance with a reimbursement plan submitted to NHTSA on February 24, 2022.
