Delayed Repairs: Hyundai and Kia Vehicles Still Pose Fire Risks

Six months after a recall of 3.4 million Hyundai and Kia vehicles due to fire risks, many remain unrepaired, putting lives in danger. The delay in repairs is blamed on parts shortages, particularly fuses needed to reduce electrical currents on circuit boards linked to brake fluid leaks. Safety advocates express concerns about the slow pace of repairs and urge swift action to address the issue. Owners have filed over 500 complaints, with some calling on NHTSA to speed up repairs or provide loaner cars. The investigation into the recalls continues, with Hyundai and Kia working to reassure owners of their commitment to safety. The need for rapid and effective resolution is emphasized to prevent new dangers and restore customer trust in the brands.
