Hyundai has called back nearly 100,000 vehicles to fix a wiring problem that could cause an engine fire, whether the car is running or not. The recall was released on the 2007-2011 model of the popular i30 hatch and the 2006-11 model of the Allantra sedan, as well as the 9393 Santa Fe SUV model built from March 2005 to September 2009. Hyundai is advising owners not to park their cars in a confined space like a garage until the free recall is completed. The manufacturer says that the problem is related to an electronic circuit board in the anti-lock braking system (ABS). The module may have a short circuit when exposed to moisture and possibly cause a fire in the engine compartment.

The notice stated: "Even when the vehicle is operating, the risk of fire in the engine compartment increases, because the circuit is continuously operated. This may increase the risk of accident, serious injury to other people and people driving the vehicle. "Hyundai says that there have been two incidents of short circuit and fire in Australia, although no one was hurt.

Hyundai recommends that owners park their cars in an open space away from any flammable materials and structures. The i30 hatchback built between November 7, 2006 and December 14, 2010 affects recall, while the affected allantra were built between August 17, 2005 and May 14, 2011. Owners are advised to visit their local Hyundai dealership for a free fix.
