Hyundai and Kia are recalling more than 3 million vehicles and advising owners to park them outside because they could catch on fire, even when not running!!!! Owners of the effected vehicles are encouraged to park their car away from homes and other structures until they can take their vehicles to a dealership for a free repair.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration warned, "Fires can occur whether the vehicle is parked and turned off or while driving."
