Jamesc Hypersonic May 12, 2017 Share May 12, 2017 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.

SuPerBoRed Twincharged May 12, 2017 Share May 12, 2017 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. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ct3833 Supersonic May 12, 2017 Author Share May 12, 2017 (edited) Sounds like the right hand drive models have a differet engine that will not stall and therefore not affected by the recall. Edited May 12, 2017 by Ct3833 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
teomingern 6th Gear May 13, 2017 Share May 13, 2017 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... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkofwinners 4th Gear May 15, 2017 Share May 15, 2017 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. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
