Washington - Hyundai Motor America is set to recall over 94,000 vehicles in the United States due to a potential fire hazard stemming from overheating power seat motors, according to U.S. transportation authorities. The recall encompasses 94,622 units, encompassing specific 2015-2016 Hyundai Genesis and 2017-2020 Genesis G80 models, as per a notice issued by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on October 9.
The agency warns that the front power seat motors might overheat due to a malfunctioning power seat control switch, which could result in a fire while the vehicle is stationary or in motion. Owners are instructed to park their cars outdoors and away from nearby vehicles or structures until the repairs are finished, as a fire could heighten the risk of injury.
The corrective action for the defect is still in the works, with notification letters to affected vehicle owners slated to be dispatched on December 7, as per the agency.
