NBC News: Hyundai, Kia owners should park outside because vehicles can catch fire, makers warn
Hyundai and Kia are telling the owners of nearly 485,000 vehicles in the U.S. to park them outdoors because they can catch fire even if the engines have been turned off.
This time the problem is contamination in the antilock brake control module that can cause an electrical short. This increases the risk of fire while the vehicles are being driven or are parked.
The automakers say they have 11 reports of fires in the U.S. but no injuries.
