Hyundai is recalling 94,622 Genesis and Genesis G80 sedans (model years 2015–2020) after a faulty seat adjustment switch can become dislodged or damaged, causing the seat motor to run continuously, overheat and potentially ignite. The NHTSA warned owners to park affected vehicles outside until Hyundai issues a repair; the company is still developing a full remedy. U.S. authorities say at least two related vehicle fires have been reported and similar thermal allegations have been received from Korea. » Mere på forbes.com

Toyota is also closing the gap with GM, but Hyundai is poised to become the third best-selling automaker in the U.S. this quarter. » Mere på cnbc.com
