HYMLY Hyundai Motor (PK)

By Kwanwoo Jun

South Korean automaker Hyundai Motor and its smaller sibling, Kia, are recalling more than 91,000 vehicles in the U.S. over potential fire risks.

As many as 52,008 Hyundai Motor vehicles will be recalled in the U.S., with the affected models being the 2023 Elantra, Sonata, Tucson and Kona, as well as the 2023-2024 Palisade, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a statement on Friday.

Kia is also separately recalling about 39,765 vehicles, with the 2023 Soul and Sportage models, as well as the 2023-2024 Seltos, being affected, the U.S. federal auto safety regulator said.

The "Idle Stop and Go" oil pump in these vehicles could have damaged electrical components that may cause overheating, the NHTSA said.

The recall will begin in late September. Car owners can have their vehicles inspected and have the oil pump replaced, if necessary, at no charge.
