Some Hyundai and Kia models are being recalled due to faulty antilock brake controls.
DETROIT - Hyundai and Kia are telling the owners of nearly 485,000 vehicles in the U.S. to park them outdoors because they can catch fire even when stopped.
The problem is contamination in the antilock brake control module that can cause an electrical short.
The automakers say they have 11 reports of fires in the U.S. but no injuries.
Affected are certain Kia Sportage SUVs from 2014 through 2016, and the 2016 through 2018 K900 sedan. Recalled Hyundai vehicles include certain 2016 through 2018 Santa Fe SUVs, 2017 and 2018 Santa Fe Sports, the 2019 Santa Fe XL and 2014 and 2015 Tucson SUVs.
Hyundai owners will be notified starting April 5. Kia expects to mail letters starting March 31.
