Louisiana Drivers, Millions of Kia and Hyundai Vehicles Being Recalled

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says Hyundai and Kia car companies are recalling some 3.3 million vehicles.

It's all about the risk of fire.

The biggest thing to note in their report is that the car companies are actually asking owners if they have these vehicles not to park them near their homes like in the garage or carport.

The actual request is a "park outside" recall. The fires they are worried about can happen whether you are driving the vehicles or if they are parked.

The 1.6 million vehicles being recalled by Hyundai are the following:

2012-2015 Accent

2012-2015 Azera
