Kia Motors Corp said it will recall nearly 380,000 Sportage and Cadenza vehicles because an electrical circuit could cause a fire in the engine compartment.
As revealed in a statement on Tuesday, the recall covers vehicles built from the 2017-2021 model years and dealers will replace some fuses in the electrical junction box.
Kia is advising owners to park outside and away from structures as a precaution until the recall repair is complete.
Although this latest announcement was specifically for the United States’ market, the recall was said to have been prompted by a similar one in the Korean market.
“No fires, crashes, or injuries have been reported related to the issue,” Kia said.
