Filed under NHTSA campaign IDs 26V431 for Kia and 26V432 for Hyundai, the recalls prompted the brands to issue “park outside” advisories for affected customers.
Yeah, perhaps a bit big of a headline for a 14 car recall, but the article completely breezes past the most important detail from the filing.
Kia’s recall was filed by their Chief Safety Officer, J. S. Park, who goes by the name Jurassic.
That’s right, Jurassic Park submitted the recall. The very official letters from the NHTSA about exploding cars are addressed to Jurassic Park.
Before anyone overreacts:
The physical footprint of the recalls in the United States of America is limited to eight Kias and six Hyundais
14 cars total in the US.
Kia and Hyundai really need better QA, this is the sort of thing you should never have happen
