The car company Kia has informed owners of almost 380,000 of its vehicles to park their cars outside due to the possibility that the engine could catch fire. It is currently recalling specific Sportage SUV models from 2017-2021 and Cadenza sedans from 2017-2019 in order to repair the issue.

According to the Associated Press, “The company says a short circuit in the hydraulic electronic brake control unit can cause excessive current, increasing the risk of a fire. Owners should also park them away from structures until repairs are made.”
