DETROIT—Kia is telling owners of nearly 380,000 vehicles in the United States to park them outdoors due to the risk of an engine compartment fire.
The Korean automaker is recalling certain 2017 through 2021 Sportage SUVs and 2017 through 2019 Cadenza sedans to fix the problem. 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.
