Kia and Hyundai are recalling thousands of vehicles in the U.S. over an issue that could cause fuel tanks to melt.
The recalls affect over 250-thousand Kia K5 sedans from model years 2021 through 2024 and over 85-thousand Hyundai Sonata vehicles from model years 2020 to 2023, all equipped with one-point-six-liter turbocharged engines.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said both automakers report the issue comes from a purge control system check valve that can wear out over time.
Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by Hyundai and Kia with further instructions.
