tumbled as much as 6% on Tuesday after warning third-quarter earnings would be hit by a further $3 billion in charges related to engine problems.

Hyundai and Kia said quality-related costs of a combined 3.36 trillion won related to the years-long quality problem that has tarnished their credibility, taking the total costs to nearly $5 billion. “The amount of provisions Hyundai and Kia are declaring is getting bigger each year passed and that is worrisome,” said Kevin Yoo, an analyst at eBEST Investment & Securities.

Analysts said Hyundai will inevitably swing to loss in the third quarter, despite a stellar performance in the U.S. market with its new lines of vehicles. “For the first time, Hyundai said other engines that have not been mentioned previously are now included in provisions, possibly suggesting that more cost issues will continue after all,” said Yoo.Shares of Hyundai and Kia were down 3.3% and 3.4%, respectively, compared to the broader KOSPI marketReporting by Heekyong Yang, Hyunjoo Jin and Joyce Lee; Editing by Shri Navaratnam and Lincoln Feast
