Recall campaigns are very common in the automotive industry and have been for several decades. They are intended to fix a problem caused by a design problem that is entirely the manufacturer’s fault. The latter then invites all interested owners to bring their car to the workshop to carry out repairs. All are fully supported by the brand while there are no customers nothing to pay for repair And, unfortunately, no brand is immune from these sometimes life-saving measures.

Big problem

This time, not one manufacturer, but two, are in the news on this topic. These are Kia and Hyundai, which are actually part of the same group and whose cars share the same parts. Which then can cause some problems when there is a crash like in this case. But what is it about? Fine ABS system may cause a short circuit in the electrical system. Therefore, in certain cases, it creates a risk of fire, not to mention that the device no longer works, and increases the risk of an accident. Fortunately, Hyundai has a solution.

A big campaign

This last ” plans to ask dealers to take their vehicle to their nearest dealership replace the ABS module fuse“. On the other hand, this is not the case with Kia, which is still working on a solution to this serious problem. In general, not less than 3.3 million cars recalled in the United States manufactured between 2010 and 2017. It also remains to be seen whether this measure will affect the European market. In this case, customers will obviously be informed by the manufacturer.
