This is involving engine stop/start (aka Idle Stop-Go) electrical components and is not related to prior undersized wiring, brake fluid leaks, tow hitch wiring recalls or engine fires.
"The recall covers Hyundai 2023-2024 Palisade, 2023 Tucson, Sonata, Elantra, and Kona vehicles and 2023-2024 Seltos and 2023 Kia Soul, Sportage vehicles. About 52,000 Hyundai vehicles and nearly 40,000 Kia vehicles are covered under the recall.
The Korean automakers said electronic controllers for the Idle Stop & Go oil pump assembly may contain damaged electrical components that can cause the pump to overheat. Owners will be notified in late September and dealers will inspect and replace the electric oil pump controller as needed.
Kia said it has six reports of potentially related thermal events but no accidents or injuries while Hyundai has four similar reports. The automakers told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration a suspect part was eliminated from production in March."
First children can steal their cars because of a lack of security, then their palisades start catching fire because of their trailer hitch electric connection, now even more fires? How are they still in business?
Or better yet, why the hell do people keep buying their cars?
it’s a combination of sharp styling, high features for low cost, “they’re fine NOW” (repeat every five years), prior good experience, thinking that their electric cars are naturally immune to their engine problems but not realizing that they were both borne in the same engineering culture and plain not being aware.
