But what do you do when your car itself is the risk? Kia is recalling 380,000 vehicles concerns they can suffer random electrical fires, telling U.S. owners of the 2017 to 2019 Cadenza sedan and the 2017 to 2021 Sportage to leave their cars parked outside and far away from any structures, lest they spontaneously burst into flames. In 2019, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched an investigation into Kia and Hyundai, stemming from owner complaints concerning 3,100 fires, 103 injuries, and one death, according to CBS News. Here’s what’s going on with the most recent recall, including what Kia owners should do if they’re included in this mess. Kia says it will notify drivers if their vehicles have been affected by April 30, though that means scores of motorists will have to play a waiting game or risk the potential danger of driving their cars.
