Kia Australia recalls over 100,000 vehicles due to fire risk from HECU moisture exposure.

Kia Australia is recalling over 100,000 vehicles, including models like the Rio, Soul, and Sportage, due to a fire risk linked to the Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU). If moisture enters the HECU, an electrical short circuit may occur, potentially igniting a fire when the vehicle is off and parked. Kia advises owners to park away from flammable areas and will notify them by mail for free inspections and repairs.
