3.4 million Hyundai and Kia vehicles in the US recalled in September due to fire risk from brake fluid leaks.

3.4 million Hyundai and Kia vehicles in the US were recalled in September due to a fire risk linked to brake fluid leaks onto antilock braking system circuit boards. The companies have acknowledged the slow repair progress, partly attributing the delays to the large number of vehicles involved. Repairs are expected to start around June, nearly nine months after the recalls were announced. Despite ongoing risks, Hyundai and Kia maintain that the vehicles remain safe to drive.
