Hyundai/Kia recall over 1/4 million vehicles for fire risk... Again
- Thread starter Jimmy_Russells
- Start date
The recalls cover more than 245,000 Hyundai Palisade and over 36,000 Kia Telluride SUVs from the 2020 through 2022 model years. Issue is with a board in the tow hitch wiring that can accumulate condensate and cause a short. Both automakers have stopped selling both vehicles until a fix is developed.
Right now, I think they're just pulling the fuse. You can have that done when you bring the vehicle in for oil consumption issues, so saves you a trip.

When looks is more important than quality
But so-called automotive industry car review experts call Hyundai/Kia twins as class leading.
Quite a few. A guy was on the local news here.
He is on his THIRD Hyundai/ Kia in three years.
The first was stolen by a group of local thugs and totaled by the same thugs.
Rinse and repeat on the second.
He caught a temporary reprieve on the third. Someone spooked the thugs on the third attempt.
However, he has a decent amount of damage to repair.
Kick 'em when they're up , kick 'em when they're down. Kick 'em all round.

Depending on reports, between 4 and 25 fires out of 300k of these vehicles sold. Factory installed tow hitch is at fault.
Our Palisade is one such vehicle. Am I concerned? Meh, not one bit.

4. Only EV's catch on fire (despite a thread like this)
5. It's only 12V, how much of a fire hazard could it possibly be?
(Or is that what the engineer was thinking?)

I’ll stay on whatever topic I deem adequate for the response, and my response is tailored to a post on this very thread.
You could always learn the difference between a Chevy Volt and a Chevy Bolt.

I think the point was made clear enough.
The point that neither you nor the sites you post actually know what they're talking about? That point is abundantly clear.
Right, because Honda and all other car manufacturers never have any recalls.
Never had any trouble with mine, NOR any such offer.
