Hyundai and Kia have issued a recall for several vehicle models and are urging drivers to park away from buildings due to the risk that the issue could start a fire.
Hyundai says the recall involves 326,942 vehicles in Canada and 1,642,551 vehicles in the U.S.
Hyundai's recalled vehicles include certain 2010-15 models of the Accent, Elantra, Tucson, Sante Fe and others.
According to the notice, the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) in the vehicles could leak brake fluid and cause an electrical short over time, which may start a fire while the car is parked or driving.
No injuries or fatalities due to the issue have been reported, Hyundai said in an email statement to CTVNews.ca.
Kia also recalled several models including the Optima, Forte, Soul, Sportage, Rio and others from 2010 to 2017 due to a short circuit in the brakes.
Kia confirmed 276,225 vehicles in Canada are impacted by the recall and the company is urging owners to park affected vehicles outdoors.
