The real problem for Hyundai is as Korea becomes more successful

 

and the people becoming richer they all aspire to drive high end conti

 

cars like BMW and Mercedes and don't want to drive less glamorous

 

brands like Hyundai and Kia.

Did not mention Kia models?

Hyundai and Kia are recalling 1.4 million cars and SUVs in the U.S., Canada and South Korea because the engines can fail and stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

The recall covers some of the Korean automakers’ most popular models in the U.S. and Canada including 2013 and 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport SUVs and Sonata midsize cars. Also covered are Kia Optima midsize cars from 2011-14, Kia Sportage SUVs from 2011-13 and Kia Sorento SUVs from 2012-14.

The South Korean recall includes Hyundai’s Grandeur and Sonata sedans and Kia’s K5, K7 and Sportage with engines produced from 2009-13.

Sounds like the right hand drive models have a differet engine that will not stall and therefore not affected by the recall.

Nothing do with right hand models... it's just that Komoco brings in the cheaper less powerful Nu MPI engines as opposed to the more powerful Theta GDI engines...

So will kia spore recall our affected cars?

[Atrecord]

Only just saw this.

 

My Tucson is not even 3 wk old... now trying to find out if it's affected...

This is what happens when a company starts doing well. People will get jealous and attempt to bring it down just like what happened to Samsung.

 

But then again, alot of cars always tio recall anyway.
