Hyundai and Kia are telling the owners of nearly 92,000 vehicles in the U.S. to park them outside because an electronic controller in an oil pump can overheat and cause fires.

    Interesting. At least this time they are taking action before any major shit goes down like it happened with the previous generation cars.

      It says they’re waiting a month to notify the owners though, let everyone you know who owns a Kia to park away from any structures.

      Edit: Maybe they mean for the parts replacement? Confusing language.

      Dealers will inspect and replace the oil pump controller if necessary. Hyundai owners will be notified by letter on Sept. 25. Kia will notify owners starting Sept. 28.
