Kia and Hyundai Recall Nearly 2 Million Vehicles

Kia and Hyundai have announced a recall of nearly two million vehicles.

Issues with air bags and brake switches need to be dealt with.

The brake switch recall includes 2007-2011 Kia Optima, Rondo, Sedona, Sorento, Soul, and Sportage; as well as Hyundai Accent, Elantra, Genesis Coupe, Santa Fe, Sonata, Tucson, and Veracruz.

In some cases a faulty switch was not causing brake lights to illuminate when the brake pedal was pushed.

Other reports involved the cruise control not turning off, when the brake pedal was stepped on.

2011-2013 Hyundai Elantras are being recalled due to a problem with a bracket coming loose when side air bags were inflated, causing injuries.

Dealers will inspect and replace parts for free, starting in June.
