Transport Canada recalled various vehicles over the last week, including Kia, Toyota, Volkswagen and Porsche cars.
Here's a look at what's affected:
Transport Canada issued a recall on June 20 for various Kia models due to the brake system, which could short circuit and cause a fire. The department said nearly 280,000 vehicles are impacted.
Models include Kia Fortes, Optimas, Souls, Sportages and seven other varieties from 2010 through 2017.
The recall said the brake hydraulic electronic control unit could short-circuit and cause a fire while the vehicle is parked and turned off.
Kia recommends that drivers park their vehicles outdoors, away from other cars or buildings, until the recall repairs are done.
