<p>According to <a href="https://apnews.com/article/hyundai-kia-engine-fire-recall-park-outside-93d012a52e7b884889cdaf2e6c22a458" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AP News</a>, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has acknowledged that the anti-lock braking system (ABS) control module in certain Kias and Hyundais can leak fluid and spark an electrical fire.</p>
<p>The malfunction can occur whether the car is parked or in motion. As a result, affected vehicle owners are advised to park away from buildings until the issue is repaired.</p>
<p>The publication reports that both companies have spoken on the situation in separate statements. Hyundai acknowledged 43 reported instances of fire breaking out or parts melting as a result of &#8220;thermal incidents.&#8221; Meanwhile, Kia addressed ten reported instances of fire/ part melting.</p>
<p>We should note that both companies have reportedly assured consumers that people haven&#8217;t reported any crashes or injuries due to the malfunction.</p>
