In a major move highlighting safety concerns, Hyundai and Kia have announced a recall of approximately 3.4 million vehicles in the U.S. The companies have identified potential issues related to engine compartment fires.

Given the severity of the risk, the companies are not just stopping at recalling the vehicles. They're going a step further by advising vehicle owners to park these cars outside until the problem is rectified. This precautionary measure is to ensure that if a fire were to occur, it wouldn't pose a threat to homes or other structures.

It's crucial for owners of Hyundai and Kia vehicles to check if their vehicles fall under this recall and, if so, to follow the companies' safety recommendations seriously. The specific models included in the recall and further actions to be taken will be communicated to the owners.

Safety remains a paramount concern for automobile manufacturers, and such recalls, while inconvenient for the vehicle owners, emphasize the companies' commitment to ensuring the well-being of their customers.
