Kia & Hyundai Sedans Recalled for Fire Hazard

Over three hundred thirty thousand Kia and Hyundai sedans are being recalled due to a potential fire hazard caused by a faulty valve in the purge control system. This recall affects Kia K5 sedans from 2021-2024 and Hyundai Sonatas from 2020-2023. The issue stems from a deteriorating purge control system check valve, which can cause pressurized air to flow into the fuel tank, potentially leading to a fuel leak and fire. Both Kia and Hyundai are replacing the faulty check valve and fuel tank assembly at no cost to the owner, and updating the engine control unit software. Owners of affected vehicles should contact their local dealership to schedule repairs. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story. AI powered.
