Hyundai Recalls 94,622 Genesis and G80 Cars in the U.S. Over Seat Motor Fire Risk
Hyundai Motor America is recalling 94,622 vehicles in the United States because some front power seat motors may overheat, creating a risk of fire while the cars are parked or being driven, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Thursday, according to Reuters.
NHTSA said the front power seat motors may overheat due to a stuck power seat control switch. The affected vehicles include certain 2015-2016 Hyundai Genesis and 2017-2020 Genesis G80 sedans.
Hyundai has advised owners to park their vehicles outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures until the repair has been performed. NHTSA said the recall remedy is currently being developed. Hyundai has not yet announced the details of the free repair. Owners can watch for mailed notices from the automaker and can also check whether their vehicle is included by entering its vehicle identification number (VIN) in NHTSA's recall database.
