Hyundai and Kia must pay $137 million in fines and safety improvements because they moved too slowly to recall over 1 million vehicles with engines that can fail.
Hyundai will pay $54 million and invest $40 million to improve safety operations under an agreement reached with the agency. The company must build a field test and inspection laboratory in the U.S. and put new computer systems in place to analyze data to identify safety issues. Another $46 million in penalties will be deferred as long as the Korean automaker meets safety conditions, NHTSA said in a prepared statement., must pay $27 million and invest $16 million on safety performance measures.
“We are pleased to be able to direct our attention to improving and enhancing our recall management processes, and our priority remains making things right for our customers,” the company said in a prepared statement. But 18 months after the 2015 recall, both automakers announced recalls of 1.2 million more vehicles for the same problem, including models the automakers originally said weren’t affected, NHTSA said when it opened the investigation.
Jason Levine, executive director of the center, said they petitioned NHTSA seeking an investigation because no one seemed to be listening to complaints from Hyundai and Kia owners. In documents, NHTSA reported that it had received complaints of engine compartment fires, as well as fires involving other components including tail light housings, wiring harnesses, and light bulbs.
My 2013 Hyundai had a recall that said something along the lines of “could cause engine to cease and result in death” Hyundai did NOT notify me. I found it myself when randomly looking up the value of my car

It is a decade ago, a lot has changed with those brands over that time. We have had 2 Hyundai diesels, and 2 Kia petrol SUV's in the family over that time. All have been faultless.

Donald Trump will go down in history as the first American president to have willingly betrayed his own country in service to a foreign enemy. His acts of treason will be taught in history books for generations to come, and the name “Trump” will become synonymous with treachery.
