If you re the owner of a 2017 to 2021 Kia Sportage or a 2017 to 2019 Cadenza, then you need to pay attention to this. The South Korean automaker and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) have announced plans to recall almost 380,000 of those vehicles due to an engine fire risk. The specific problem has already been identified: a short circuit in the hydraulic electronic brake control unit could cause excessive current, thus increasing the chance for a fire.
What affected owners need to start doing immediately is park these vehicles outside and not in garages. Kia further advises to keep them away from structures (as in people s homes) until the necessary repairs are completed.
