Hyundai Recalls Over 94,600 US Vehicles Over Seat Motor Fire Risk
Hyundai Motor America is recalling 94,622 vehicles in the US, including certain 2015-2016 Hyundai Genesis and 2017-2020 Genesis G80 models, due to a fire risk from overheating front power seat motors. The issue stems from a stuck power seat control switch supplied by Nidec Mobility Korea Corporation. Owners are advised to park outdoors away from structures until repairs are made. Hyundai is developing a remedy and estimates about one vehicle may have the defect, with two reported fire incidents but no injuries or crashes.
